The Falls: Covenant of Grace

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.

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.

After watching this movie I think this is the best film I have ever seen. Through out the movie I just cried all the way from beginning to end and the main actors in this movie are wonderful actors and thank you for the director for making a tearful and emotional movie.

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!

As someone who has battled some of the same self loathing these characters have endured in this trilogy, this holds a special place in my heart. All three films are fantastic, the last is one that will take you on the emotional roller coaster of the century. By now in this trilogy you already know and love the characters. The purity of the love between Christopher and R.J. Is something to be treasured. There is of course lust but love comes before lust in every sense. I haven't cried so much at a movie in many years. The acting is superb and the chemistry of the lead actors is out of this world. I highly recommend starting at the beginning of the trilogy, that way you can see how beautifully these characters are developed. This trilogy hits home for a lot of the GLBTQ community that have come from religious upbringing. Please give these films a chance. You will not be disappointed.
