Powerful, persuasive and insightful, Falling is a sensitive and beautifully composed film that marks the formidable directing debut of the wonderful actor Viggo Mortensen.
(Mauro Lanari) A remake of "The Father" influenced by a sequel to "Green Book": is the non-linear structure due to the point of view of paternal dementia or the confusion in the childhood memories of Viggo on his directorial debut? He has forced the character of the couple of protagonists to the point of a caricatural parody of the polarized political, ideological and moral souls of the contemporary United States: an intermediate agonic phase between two mutual inability to take care of a dying person, at the beginning and at the end of the film.
Viggo Mortensen scores a standout directing debut, showing the artful sensitivity and offbeat humor that define him as an actor with this heart-piercing drama in which he stars as a gay son coping with the dementia of his racist father (a career-best Lance Henriksen).
