    I always felt kind of drawned and fascinated by the world of small American towns. Unknown or forgotten places where supposedly nothing happens and everyone knows everyone. I always loved films that focus on any one of those towns and show how complex and interesting those people...( read more) can be and how everyone has a story to tell... Empire Falls does that flawlessly. First of all, the credit for the wonderful plot has to be given to the auteur of the book, Richard Russo. I didn't know it but I will risk myself saying that this adaptation is close to perfection. The cast also couldn't possibly be better. It's simply the best that America has, from different generations, all brought together. Ed Harris, in the leading role, a very strong and complex character brilliantly played. The rest of the cast is top class as well. Philip Seymour Hoffman, Robin Wright Penn, Dennis Farina, Helen Hunt (even though her character annoyed me like hell) and Danielle Panabaker all have solid performances, nevertheless short. As for Mr. Paul Newman, that's just what he is, a Mister! His carachter is just that typical grandpa, that you just can't not love! Anyway, I loved this, that's pretty much it...

    A small town movie that was little slow in some parts for me. The all-star cast is what made this movie watchable.

    I just cannot pinpoint why I liked this miniseries so darned much. The plot is fantastic, the characters engrossing, the humor dry and the cast is perfect.
