Falling

so many people are complaining ab this movie but idk it felt real to me it hit home a little too bc like. I Know People Like Willis. i know people who act and talk like him i know people who have and are going through the same things like its just a little scary tbh this movie reminded me of some of the people in my family kinda made me sick in a good way. i felt every emotion while watching.

While the first half slugs along at a strange pace, with awkward jokes and only the parts with *Sverrir Gudnason* are true standouts, the pacing in the second half picks up massively and delivers a truly hurtful experience. While the film oozes with *Mortensen's* painfully liberal politics and his performance and direction are probably the most unfortunately dull parts of the film, those don't really matter in the face of *Lance Henriksen's* suckerpunch of a performance and some really great scenes between the two as well as *Gabby Velis*.

an earnest attempt was made, i'm sure of it. underneath an hour and a half of this old bigoted dude saying bigoted stuff, there's the heart viggo envisioned.
