Falling (2020)

With such annoying character and devil soul, how can people stand with him? It's so called drama as it's unreal. If that happens in real life, the consequence will only be one ending. Too unrealistics makes me rate down a bit even the movie itself for acting and directing is good.

Fmovies: Just don't watch this movie if you don't want to be intoxicated by the relationship

I tried to like it, I really did. I failed. This movie was so disjointed I didn't know what it was about, or where to look for inspiration. I watched the first 20 minutes, based on it's premise, then got completely lost. Maybe I missed something, somehow I doubt it.

Falling fmovies. Henriksen is just too annoying... He's completely unlikeable and the movie gets to the point where you're just sick of watching him being a total as.... You can't even blame it on his dementia, it's the character he plays, from the very begging, just nasty, evil person. Makes you wonder, how could those grown up kids of his still call him daddy. How much empathy do they have and where is it coming from? On one hand I admire them and on the other I cannot believe how they both turned out.

Lance Henriksen did an amazing job, Viggo Mortensen meehh, not so much (however fight scene at the end of the movie was pretty great). I wish I liked present life scenes as much as I liked the flashbacks (they were really repetitive).

Great acting all around, solid story, good directing. Anyone who has spent their whole life dealing with an emotionally and psychologically abusive parent will relate, and unless you've been there you probably won't understand why the son and daughter put up with it. I did. My 95-year-old father died a month ago after decades of slights and hurts, and he still managed to deliver one last slap after he died.

I disagree with some who think this is just about a disease or dementia as if it somehow changed the father - no, it just brought out more of who the father really was. I agree this it was about love - how some adult children still want to love and have the need to be loved back.

Warnings: This movie had a disturbing amount of verbal abuse in the form of homophobia and misogyny. It is definitely not for children. Be prepared.
