Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Ricardo The movie is not bad at all even if the material is not original and the basic premise is extremely simple. Forget the gay angle, forget the pregnant wife, forget everything else. What it comes down to is a man who having a very fulfilling life felt the need to grab for even more and in the end this cost him everything. He lost what he had and he lost what he reached for. Eye candy is good and made some of the wooden and plastic acting bearable. Overall not a bad movie but not really a memorable film either
paq5528 The movie follows a typical gay story arc -- one guy is completely comfortable being his gay self, the other is in the closet and uncomfortable with it. Yet somehow, they form a relationship, setting up the confrontation of uncomfortable guy having to choose between love and the societal comforts upon which he's built his life.The story itself was quite mechanical -- perhaps not so surprising when thinking about the Germans. There are no campy gay scenes, only love and gorgeous lustfully-writhing German blond bodies. There is no gay drama scene, there is simply an efficient confrontation where one professes love and the other can't break the shackles of his straight life until too late.Although the story is somewhat formulaic, you honestly cannot help but understand the smoldering attraction these 2 actors are able to project on screen. I'm told they are both heterosexual. You honestly wouldn't know it from their portrayals. I found myself understanding why the "in the closet" guy couldn't come out; and I sympathized with the more outgoing "comfortable being gay" guy. I sincerely and highly recommend this movie for the "sturm und drang" it is able to portray, that the actors convey, the importance of the choices each character makes, and the respect used with respect to each character.After a jog in the woods, treat yourself to a German beer or two and this movie, you won't regret it!
Mara H I absolutely adored this movie and would recommend it to everyone. As soon as I finished it I knew it's on my top 5 list of all time favorite movies. The acting was superb in my opinion, and I really felt for the characters. I wish it was a bit longer, because I think even though it was a perfect movie for me, I would have liked to see more of Marc and Kay's relationship developing. I'll admit that I think that part was rather rushed but no movie is 100% flawless, so I don't think it's that big of a deal. (I'm about to spoil the movie) The ending left me pretty heartbroken. I was dying for Marc and May to meet again at the end, or have another confrontation or conversation of some sort. But as much as I wish it had a happier more satisfying ending, I can't deny that I loved every second of the drama and the conflict. It was pretty realistic though, compared to many movies with a romantic plot. Sometimes relationships don't work out. Basically, it left me wanting more, and I hope there's a second movie
Ldnfilmfly Overall, this is a well directed film about the struggle between two men as they come to terms with their sexuality and its impact on their lives and those around them. The storyline mimics that of Brokeback Mountain but doesn't quite deliver the same effect or evoke the same attachment to the characters in the film. It also focuses heavily on one character more than the other with too little time spent on the companionship between the two main characters. Nonetheless, it's by far one of the best acted and directed films of its kind yet to be released. Free Fall is less about sex and more about sexuality which makes this film superior to many others like it.
