There are films which make you feel happy, this is not one of those. There are films which make you sad, this is not one of those. There are films that connect with you, this is is not one of those either. And yet this is an essential film. Carol Morley’s The Falling has insured and cemented a fact in my head: “I’m going to watch all her films here on out.” The film features sleekly cut shots of images from the past of all school girls that are about hysteria as they become prey of this strange epidemic of falling down.
