unexpectedly fantastic
I've seen the trailer a while ago and thought this might be a good movie. Didn't really expect anything super special, just something you consider watching whenever. Yesterday I finally decided to watch the film, simply because I felt like watching a Drama. The first thing you hear is this song. I've never heard it before and I really liked it (Shaun Rust - On Your Side). When a movie starts off with a great song I just get excited about what's to come. Music in a movie is always really important to me, I did like all of them here. They were perfectly chosen. Then there's the story. Though it is a Drama, having parts where you're in tears, it does have some happy moments where you smile while watching it. When a film gets you to show emotions, in this case several ones, it's a huge compliment to it. The story is fantastic. The ending could have gone differently but I like when you have to think about how it's going on yourself. That also makes a movie fantastic, when it gets you to think about the rest. This film is definitely a must see. I don't often tell friends you HAVE TO watch this and that movie but I will with this one. It's simple, yet amazing.
Maybe genuine, but not absorbing, portrayal of millennial romance
I appreciate natural dialogue and personal interactions captured on film, as this one succeeds in. There aren't the contrivances you see in most Hollywood romances. The lead characters do have chemistry, and it's realistically tentative rather than the lightning-bolt kind. But I just didn't find the them interesting enough to recommend this movie. The viewer isn't really given enough background to form a strong feeling for the male protagonist, just shown that he's in a very precarious situation. And the female character has a strong SoCal intonation and does that thing with the breathless laugh mid-sentence. I just couldn't get invested.
Incredible! Life is beautiful -- even with a brain tumor
The delicate subject matter of this film is beautifully rendered by writer/director Conrad Jackson. The serious theme is there but the overall tone is one of hope, and the beauty of life wins out over its unpredictability. Jackson's cinematography enables us to feel the passage of time differently, and he takes us on a journey through a young man's (potentially) last night with simple events that exemplify how precious life is. The two main actors are endearingly naive, but with depth and complexity beyond their years. Oh yeah, and apparently it was filmed in 14 days - impressive! I look forward to seeing much more from these actors, from the writers, and from director Conrad Jackson!
Excellent film
I saw this film at Cinequest in 2011 and I was truly amazed. First of all, it was almost impossible to get a seat. All three screenings were sold out, there was a huge buzz about this film. I have to say that the film lived up to the hype and the festival judges agreed giving it the Special Jury Award. It was masterfully executed through and through. The acting was stellar. The two leads were so believable. It felt like I was watching two people truthfully falling for each other. The direction was spot on. The way it was shot was so realistic. I felt like I was a fly on the wall watching their lives. I gave this film 10 stars and can't wait for it to release. Do not miss the opportunity to check out Falling Overnight when it comes your way. I will definitely go to see it again!
a raw, delicate piece that could possibly become a sleeper classic if more people see it.
Falling Overnight follows the story of a man, Elliot Carson, who finds love at the worst time in his life. Scheduled for brain surgery on the next day, he tries to pass the dreadful hours of waiting time by going out. What he didn't expect was that he'll meet her match a day before his possible last day here on earth. It is basically, life giving him the finger if you look at it in a mad perspective. Or it could be a sign of hope. Maybe, a reason for him to weigh on waking up after surgery. At first glance, the concept behind Falling Overnight seems familiar. A look into love limited by time. Something already established in the love story classic, Before Sunrise (1995). The setup is two strangers meeting for the first time and falling in love despite the short amount of time they spent together. What makes Falling Overnight different from the classic is not just the presence of the lead character's illness. It is the treatment to the concept that sets them apart. While Before Sunrise tries to show you how sapiosexually-inclined the two lead characters are, 'Falling' takes you to the actual emotions of the characters on screen. They're not trying to prove to the audience that you can indeed fall in love in a short span of time. The film succeeds in portraying human emotion rather than make up through conversation for the otherwise silly little concept. Don't get me wrong. I'm not hating on Before Sunrise, it has its own merits and I love the film as well. This is rather a clear cut distinction between the two great movies. Most people would probably tell themselves, "why would I want to watch another Before Sunrise?" You might miss this little cinematic gem because of that presumption. Yet another difference the film has from its predecessor is the characterization of the lead. Elliot was not the resident shy boy although it is pretty evident how he chooses to distance himself from the people around him. Maybe, if it wasn't for the illness, he'd be that friend you'd like to hang out with. It is possible that after finding out about his condition, he deliberately chose to separate himself from the rest of the world. This is more evident on the unanswered phone calls from his mates and his brief phone conversation with his mother. Apart from him and his mom, it even appears as if he never told anyone of his condition. Maybe, he didn't want people to worry about him too much. It felt like, he was prepping himself to actually leave. What makes it more interesting is that Elliot never set out to fall in love. This movie wasn't the bucket list type of picture. He had no intention of splurging it all on his possible final hours. Hell, he only wanted something to drink when they met. And when he realized what life just did to him that night, all he could do was laugh about it in his car. At first you might think, this movie is going to be a definite cryfest. While it may work for some, it might never even be the main goal. The movie had every chance to exploit the drama behind the situation but it never does. Instead, it showed the characters as people. Not a tool for drama. If you want to see a love story that feels more real than idealistic, this is the right one you're looking for. It kind of reminded me of the quality HBO's Girls had in its first season. Raw and gritty, hits close to home. It wasn't relying on smart, existential thoughts, and witty dialogue. It's pure emotion translated into film. As Parker Croft's debut as the writer/executive producer for this film, I must say he gave a very defined performance as the character he wrote. But the biggest breakthrough comes from Emilia Zoryan's performance. This was her first film yet she acts as if she's been doing it her whole life. Very natural and captivating. Falling Overnight is a raw, delicate piece that could possibly become a sleeper classic if more people see it. writelikesundance.wordpress.com
