Movie: The Sound of Falling

Watching a movie like this on an aeroplane is probably not the best way to see it. A friend had spoken positively about it although she did mention in passing that it was long, and that it felt twice that length. I should have taken more notice of the second part of her comment, because it felt interminable. Worse still, I had PAID to watch it on Jetstar (terrible airline….) so I was determined to watch to the bitter end. I don’t know why I did because I have absolutely no idea what happened or why all these gloomy people were living in a rural farmhouse. And as for the last scene?- beats me. It was beautifully filmed, with a stultifying other-worldliness but … no thanks

My rating: 2/5
