Falling Sky

Oh My GOD!!!

i am on a Brittany Murphy film quest, so when i went to rent some DVD's today i saw this in the new release section.

i want my money back.

this film sucked big time.

Karen Allen played such a loser in this film, and Brittney (even though she looked good) was playing a role that seemed to be a cross between her characters in "Girl Interrupted" & "Don't Say A Word".

if you feel you must see this film, then go ahead....just don't say i didn't warn you first.

One of the worse films I'd ever seen! I'm also on a quest to see every Brit Murphy film: She is a memorable performer and under the hands of the right director can bring to life the most adorable and unique characters (who can forget 'Daisy' or 'Elizabeth Berkins'!), but here she follows routine dialogue. The movie doesn't attempt to achieve believability- the way her character is dressed is contrary to her personality, how can they afford a decent house with the scraps they earn, how does someone like mom get a job so conveniently, etc.. Further more, we aren't surprised that they drive a classic car, we are not surprised that the daughter is the brightest kid in literature class, we are not surprised that her mother becomes a filthy ugly stripper in some drunken sleaze-hole, and we sho-as-hell wuzn't surprised nor entertained or even cared that the mom is dumber and more childish than the teenae daughter. Of course- every teenage girl movie must have an arsenal of dumb hormone driven male teens who cause trouble and one of them has to be a cute boy that she absolutely must fall in love with. There's nothing necessarily wrong with the plot being so unoriginal as long as the movie adds fresh material to keep it entertaining (this one doesn't). It lacked the most basic composition of every film- visual style. The music is cheesy. Things happen in the story simply because they'd already happened in other movies of the same formula. The subplots concerning the teenage boys and some hookers were pointless. I don't know why "Falling Sky" was made. Maybe it looked good on paper but then the entire project simply fell apart; probably because neither Brian J. Depalma nor the cast had any vision or enthusiasm for it.

emotionally wrenching, beautiful film. The cinematography is almost so beautiful it is indescribable. The script is powerful and deep. The final scene i will remember always, the way the light plays on the mountains and the lake. A truly great film.

I thought this was a wonderful film.It brings out what really happens in life.Things that we don't ever think about that happens, but they do.Made me realize how lucky we really are, just to live ,because there is always someone out there that either has it just as bad as you,if not worse.This is a movie you have to watch till the very end to know you like it.If you just watch the first 20 minutes you might feel as if the film is a little boring and out of touch, but if you keep watching you'll enjoy. If your the type of person that has to be entertained throughout the whole movie,perhaps,this isn't the movie for you.Although, if you like things with meaning,you should definitely see.

One of Brittany's best movies. Love the song "The Sky Is Falling" during the end credits. Brittany's performance is brilliant. She truly could play any character. The movie is realistic & portrays the struggles with disease & addiction really well. The ending is absolutely perfect. Fantastically written. The entire cast & crew were amazing.
