    Visually minded filmmaker Tarsem Singh returns to the director's chair for the first time since The Cell (2000) with this psychologically complex tale of a hospitalized paraplegic with a curious knack for storytelling. Unable to free himself from his sterile confines, the immobile patient's deepest fears form the basis of a dark story that he shares with his young companion -- a little girl who visits his room as she recovers from a nasty fall. As the eerie tale unfolds, reality and fantasy gradually merge to form a strange world in which anything is possible. Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

    May 25, 2009: One person affecting another in a relationship of opposites is the basic premise of the "The Fall." The visuals are stunning, but don't overwhelm the story because they are used to depict the story going on in the mind of the storyteller and little girl. The joy of the story's visuals is that they represent a disconnect between what the storyteller is saying and what the girl understands. We also see the real people and images that populate the fictional landscape of the girl's mind. As the story evolves, the fictional story becomes more and more disrupted by what is going on in the real world and the emotions of the two main characters. Even though this movie has an R rating, under parental supervision, this can be seen by children as young as 10 or 12 depending on their maturity level. Charles Darwin as a member of the fictional hero's band is one of the most original ideas.

    May 02, 2009: I can't recommend this movie to enough people. I've watched with all of my family and I get something different from it each time. This movie definatley falls under the heading of "artsy" and if you're not used to being intuitive with where a movie is going, it may be hard to follow.

    The actress that portrays Alexandra is extremely genuine (so much so that you have to wonder if she even knows she's being filmed for parts of the dialog with Lee Pace!) and Lee does a great job of interacting with her in a sweet but also scary way.

    As their relationship develops, the sinister plot lines become clear but you'll find yourself dying to know how the story ends - both the real-life story and the one he's making up for her.

    Filmed over 4 years and in several differnt countries, the artistic effect of the movie is extravagant and the iconic images are sprinkled throughout. It can often be difficult to determine what time period the story takes place in but not knowing for sure adds to the mystery.

    Very enjoyable!
