Movie Reviews of When Night Is Falling
Movie Review: A Great Fine Art Film
Summary: 5 Stars
I am so glad that Criterion picked up this film. The DVD came out late, well after the initial release of the video had disappeared. Recent showings on the LOGO network have rekindled some well deserved interest.
Most Lesbian films are just plain bad. With the rare exception of a film like Desert Hearts, they are mindless romps by undeveloped, self-absorbed characters. They always end in the bedroom, usually to a lush musical score, because the plot literally can't go anywhere else. This film is not only a good lesbian film but a beautiful, artistically rendered chronical of a quirky relationship between two very eccentric people. The cinematography alone makes it so visually compeling that you could watch it just for that. It has a fine rhythmic pacing and a color saturation reminiscent of David Lynch. The color filled Art Circus atmosphere that surrounds one character pops as it is interspered with the staid beiges and browns that paint the academic world of the other. One scene that intercuts a car headlight dancing across a bedroom wall, a circus act that uses bouncing lights behind a screen and one of the female leads making love to her boyfriend turns editing into an artform.
Well worth the price!
Movie Review: Beautiful
Summary: 5 Stars
I cannot really say much that hasn't already been said here about this film. Still I'd like to tout the wonderful atmospheric quality of the fine cinematography. The main love scene is, I think, the most beautiful love scene I've ever seen in any film. The actors do a glorious job of it. One of the other reviews I read mentioned that there was a lack of dramatic tension and unfortunately I must agree with that. There's plenty going on in the story to build that tension on, but somehow the film fails to achieve it. Still,despite any of that, well worth watching and owning.Movie Review: Excellent movie
Summary: 5 Stars
While some might not think so, I thought this movie was well done and is perfect for anyone who's faith says that homosexuality is a sin. The acting was good and the visual representation was good too, especially between the girl struggling to find her sexuality and her dog that died in the beginning of the movie.Movie Review: Wonderful movie and to see again
Summary: 5 Stars
Adored this film and had it prior and was misplaced, reordered it, really good film and story basis with lessons of life in it that are reality. Filmed with elegance and a classic not exploitive to women within it's contents. Really like this film so very much....tastefully done, bravo!Movie Review: Accept nothing less than the unrated version
Summary: 5 Stars
A great, romantic movie. But why would anyone want to see the "R" version when it was originally released in the U.S. as unrated and has been released both on VHS and DVD as unrated.
