Has anyone else seen "The Fall"? I watched it last night.
I was amazed. It was so beautiful and interesting. And the little girl BLEW ME AWAY, adorable, precocious, intelligent, yet still so child-like. I absolutely loved her. And loved the movie.

I have to go out but I'll check back later and see what you all thought.

1. I guess it was just me. Well, too bad, it was a great film.

3. It only got 60% on the Rotten Tomato meter which shocked me. Maybe it's just too
odd for some folks. I thought it was wonderful, and can't stop thinking about it. I hope you enjoy it! :hi:

4. I saw it but I felt all the surrealist imagery and such was a little too forced.
Wasn't a huge fan.

6. I actually preferred it to Pan's Labyrinth
The Fall was one of the best films I've seen this decade. I've recommended it to family and friends, but few have bothered.

8. I love colorful films like that.
Since you enjoyed "The Fall", you might also like "Amelie" and Everything is Illuminated. The cinematography in both films was amazing, not to mention great story lines and characters.

9. Amelie is one of my favorite films of all time!
And I feel like I saw part of Everything is Illuminated, I'll have to check.

10. Add Big Fish to that list as well.
Amelie is in my top 3.

Everything is Illuminated is fun, quirky, sad, and inspiring.

11. Ah yes, Big Fish. It having the added bonus of the wonderful Ewan McGregor.
Eye candy upon eye candy.
