The Falls: Covenant of Grace

I think I've now watched the entire trilogy like 10 times. Wish Nick Ferrucci would make more than just TV commercials. His performance from the beginning to the end evolved amazingly. As for being low budget the production quality is great.

Having recently watched the triology, it was so nice to see the happy ending for the couple!!! The cinematography and rawness I felt may have been better in the first film, maybe this came with the low budget, however the actors still performed amazingly and this gives the watcher a close insight into their intricate thoughts and emotions.

Has to be one of the best film series of my life. The emotion and the love you see between the characters really has an effect on you. I'm still sat here listening to the theme song (available on iTunes and Apple Music) days later because the film really pulled my heartstrings.

I would have given this a 10 but I didn't for two reasons: Nick Ferrucci's beard.....covers up his beautiful face and is not attractive on him. And the characters of his lesbian friends are annoying! I could have done without them. Other than that, the performances by Ferrucci and Farmer are absolutely perfect! Their chemistry is palpable and their journey is now complete though I hate to see the series end. The cinematography is beautiful as there are a lot more outdoor scenes this time around. There is another character that is very endearing this time around and that is the character of Ryan, the younger ex-missionary. A very touching part of the story. Kudos to Jon Garcia for a great trilogy of films. The music is wonderful too and the story is engaging and the last two scenes will require you to have Kleenex handy!

So far in my life, I must say, I have not seen anything as beautiful as this movie, and as divine. I feel humble and proud to have watched such an authentic gay drama - a soulful journey of deep love (between two men) and its ability to survive despite all the repressions.

It is with overwhelming pleasure that I watched this film and almost wished it would never end. As I am writing this, I remember how I eavesdropped and relished their tearful dialogues as if I was right there in their room. I can say with reckless conviction that no other gay-themed film did or will touch the depth of authentic love-rich emotions as this one did.

So many iconic elements I loved about this spellbinding gay phenomenon: including its memorable romantic scenes, passionate intimacy, & unquenched longings, heartfelt affection & tender sentiments, mature empathy and committed monogamy.

For once, it inspires us to reinstate our lost belief in devoted love and value of small sacrifices. It is also about how love, through the phase of separation, grows deeper, desperate and more intense...so that when lovers actually meet back their mutual passions relinquish their desire to stop at it.

The story is utterly endearing, strongly impassioned, surprisingly emotive...and so delicately presented that you can't help falling for its charm. Not a single most romantic movie I have seen, straight or gay, has narrated a tale of powerful, true love like the one that materializes between Chris and RJ - the one that patiently breaks every malignant boundaries imposed by the world around us.

The two lead actors have delivered sublime performances creating an unforeseen, original chemistry that speak of genuine feelings. I am never going to dare forget this film ever; it will linger forever in my heart.

I watched the three parts of this depiction of how religion can sometimes be obstacles to achieving certain personal goals and aspirations. In this case, RJ and Chris, two devout Mormons, fall in love during a mission at which they're both partnered. Needless to say, same sex relationships are not only strongly frowned upon, but considered highly immoral and banned within the overall church. They try to find a way to navigate and make it work against the backdrop of the Church doctrine condemning their love. Certainly this type of condemnation is not limited to the Church of Latter Day Saints but also exists within many other religions around the world. I have to say that the writing, direction and acting in all three segments were positive. Nick Ferucci and Ben Farmer are the lead actors who play the beleaguered couple. Their families (especially their fathers) and friends deliver solid performances. Without giving anything away, I thought parts of the trilogy, including the ending, were a bit far fetched. However, they in no way undermined the overall spirit of this excellent series.
