The Falls

I saw it as Greek Orthodox , knowing not verz much about mormons. I appreciated the honest dose of realism of storz , the acting, the well waz to define facts, traits of youth, a church , love. I appreciated, in same measure, the gentle aproach bz sensitive themes, from the traps of presumed felows of church to the emptiness of life in some occasions. And the smart manner to suggest the sensualitz.

The freshness, the correctness / two virtues of this film who is not pledge or accusation but onlz a sort of testimony about attraction, feelings, love.

Two zoung missionaries / elders - it sounds very eccentric for me the term for 20 years old guys - , their answers to challenges and their feelings one for other. A film remarkable for fair reflection of innocence.

My Partner and fiance was Mormon for over 30 years, struggling with himself, trying not appease the cult that it is. Put aside the ridiculous founder Smith and his corruption, and you realize members were misguided.

THe harm the Mormon church has done to love is profound, and the movie series shows how men who love other men can over come the corruption and hate against love freeing themselves from tidings that pay a church for hatred.

He is loved now, genuinely not stuck in a marriage of image, and to appease the corrupt. Shifting the real love to genuine compassion to help all people, not those consumed by ego that have fallen from any hope of any grace by hating love.

I plan to play all 3 movies for him, and know it will trigger emotions, tears, and I will be their beside him, making him realize he has real love and freedom now, and the cult is gone, and his letter to them, as well as Oaks being blunt about the Mormon corruption is sent. The Mormon church will either have a new and kind fair revelation with the newer members, or it will fade as a cult .

I've read other reviews of this film and I have to say, the negative reviews are trite. IT'S AN INDEPENDENT FILM! Production quality isn't on par with a multi-million dollar film, but the actors portraying these flawed people are believable. Isn't that what we actually look for in any film? I have watched all three of these, back-to-back more than once because I like crying and this story makes me cry. I really can't say which of the three I like the most since all three touch my heart, and I sincerely have cried during all three. I accidentally saw the first installment then got up, after going to bed, to watch the 3rd. I will watch them again, 1-2-3.

Very enjoyable, meaningful and interesting. Engaging from the very beginning. Sure, the acting could have been better ...along w/the production values (for which I'm deducting a couple stars). But considering this film was made on a shoestring, it still manages to impress and tell a wonderful story about love, humanity and struggle to find one's place in the world!

The Falls explores the Mormon Faith and it's relationship to gay love when two male missionaries develop feelings for one another.

The depth of research and the excellent acting by everyone involved makes this movie a "must buy" DVD.

The dialog was real for what is a very sensitive topic. I hope that people of the Mormon faith can see that special care and respect was taken towards their religion. However, the movie does point out the unnecessary conflict LGBT Mormons must go through.

Jon Garcia is an amazing talented director and I look forward to seeing more of his work in the future.
