The whole thing is overwrought, meaning that some initially impressive visuals and winking humor collapses in on itself thanks to the emotional lead weight thrown at our heads. It didn't help that I found the main character to be irritating to the point of choking on my own bile.

Piekny wizualnie film tylko ze koncowka jakas taka bez pomyslu...

I was absolutely blown away by the visuals. All in all, an enthralling take on the nature of storytelling.

Better than The Princess Bride but that's it.

Gorgeous visuals and rather touching to boot. Also, stars perhaps the greatest child actor I've ever seen.

Features my favorite native tribe (i have seen them in Baraka before). Visuals are stunning. Some parts seemed pretty random.

FANTASTIC visuals mainly in the first half. Sad that it lost all of its magic to me in the second part of the movie. Also shorten it by half an hour.. it wouldn't have been that hard.

The Fall remains remote and unengaging.

One of the kind. To tell 10 stories at the same time through fairytale like storytelling is something extraordinary!

Despite a few eyecatching moments, this was merely an interesting film and not much else for me. Even the visuals for the most part, like the story, did not stand out as anything unique, deep or exceptionally powerful. Credit has to be given to the director for attempting this film, but I was underwhelmed by it.

A must see. Great set pieces,, graet acting. Great story telling in the lin of big fish, with the imaginative eye of Tarsem. If you've seen the cell with Jlo, its the same colorful style, but way, way better.

an epic journey around the world.. incredible cinematography.. clever use of beethoven 7th and great surprise to see hagia sophia of istanbul as one of the sets...

What's not to love about this? Our heroes are a tortured young man and an adorable little girl, whose combined imaginations create a fantasy world. The fantasy scenes are shot on location on man-made and natural wonders of the world in 22 different countries on 5 continents, without CGI effects. The photography is stunning but although the story both is touching and has some serious undertones, it's not that memorable. Still, a visual masterpiece. It's incredibly that it didn't become a hit.

A beautifully realized yet flawed movie - mainly because, for a movie about storytelling, it tells its story pretty poorly. Not that I don't appreciate the focus on the anamorphic nature of tell tales and scatter shot of imagination, but you need to get almost to the end of the film before you get an excuse to care about the protagonists. But it IS beautiful!

lee pace is fucking sexy, no homo

It's certainly visually mesmerising, and has the single greatest cut I've ever seen. But I thought the postmodern reading aspect, how the story is created by the reader, not the author, was the most interesting thing about The Fall. This movie is pretty awesome any way you look at it.
