Films such as 'The Falling' are a rare breed. They use a small, loose narrative to explore some aspect of human conditions. I suppose 'The Falling' is about the friction and disconnect between authoritative adults and adolescents. At least that's what I got out of it. This subject has been shown countless times, in many different ways. Here, there's little to latch on to thematically. None of the characters feel real and the story contains minor progression, if any. I didn't care enough about the proceedings to dig deep into the true intent of the film, and that's mostly due to it being messy.
