Catinca Untaru, the little girl is the star of the movie. Beautiful images and colors. It takes a lot of effort to recall what the story was about, so it didn't really leave an impression.

Languishing in a hospital, Roy Walker is a broken man in more ways than one: Unable to walk after a fall from a horse in a movie stunt gone wrong, his heart is also broken after his girlfriend ran off...( read more

The story of a little girl befriending an injured stuntman at an 1920s hospital is a fairy tale about the power of imagination and friendship. The film is shot entirely without digital effects, using colors, architecture, props and natural landscapes to create an cinematic beauty...( read more)

The girl is really something special (a little dynamo who upstages all her elders and betters at every turn), Lee Pace is as scrumptious as a toasted chocolate sandwich and the (quite literally) jaw droppingly exquisite visuals are about as blissful as having your eyelids licked ...( read more)

This was one of the best and spectaculars visual films I ever saw. The pictures were so amazing so I was hypnotized from them. But surprisingly the story was great it was really deep.

Critic Reviews
Tarsem's The Fall is a mad folly, an extravagant visual orgy, a free-fall from reality into uncharted realms. Surely it is one of the wildest indulgences a director has ever granted himself. full review
Dazzling and delirious, The Fall is a celebration of cinema, of old-fashioned storytelling and globe-hopping spectacle. full review
The Fall is aptly named not only because it pertains to a tragic descent but because viewers will feel as if they have plunged headlong into an alternate universe with this dazzling adult fairy tale. full review
My initial cynicism was steadily broken down, completely undone by a five-year-old Romanian actress named Catinca Untaru. full review

August 16, 2008Outstanding Performance by the young Miss Untaru. The film was for me a welcome break from the summers' super hero fare!! Well crafted and definitely worth a look.
