Our Review

Falling is an uncompromising family drama driven by Lance Henriksen’s abrasive performance as an ageing father whose prejudices have damaged everyone around him. Viggo Mortensen’s directorial debut is uneven but deeply personal, and the scenes between father and gay son carry real emotional tension.
