Review by abodeliveableart

I saw Fallen before Falling at the premiere screening in Toronto and was quite impressed. Mainly because the budget for the film was so small. I did not expect how great it would look - the high level of polish and cinematography. I am more of a shoot 'em up Hollywood style movie person than an independent film buff but this movie was unique. Cecile Butt was unreal. There was several crazy close up detail shots of her eyes that were so powerful. I actually felt her anguish and just wanted to give her a hug the whole movie. I guess that means she was very convincing. Anyway, the film was artistic, interesting, moving, disturbing and thought provoking, all at the same time. Nice to see something a little different. Will look forward to Mr. Dubbeldam's next movie.
