Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Don't listen to the negative reviews

A Masterpiece!

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

I've been waiting for this movie since I watched the trailer 3 months ago. The song used for the trailer 'Search and Destroy by Sanders Bohlke', also used in the films background kept me hold on this movie for so long and finally I got to watch it over an exhausted weekend.The film is very simple and moves silently and then takes pace when Chloe enters. The beautiful thing about the film is its optimistic flow, even though the theme is quite serious. 22 old Elliot Carson on the day before he has surgery to remove a brain tumor, he meets Chloe Webb, a young photographer. She invites him to her art show and since they meet at an art show, their night goes together with parties at friend's house, hiking, biking. Their relation is going strong every moment and even Elliot forgetting everything enjoys them with Chloe.When Elliot breaks the news to Chloe about his surgery, Chloe breaks down into grief. They both knows, in a short span of time they spent together, they have fallen for each other. And Elliot has an uncertain future.I'm always fond of small budget, intense subject and some outstanding performance genre films. This movie is 86 minutes long (or short excluding end titles :)), Budgeted $50,000 (estimated) and awesome performance by Writer, Actor Parker Croft. Debutant Emilia Zoryan looks promising as well. both are confident, talented actors and have a bright future. Supporting cast does their job well. worth mentioning Cinematography by writer/director Conrad Jackson and Sound Department. Every song used in the movie is nice and situational. The almost end scene when Elliot and Chloe goes to her room and you get to see Parker's powerful acting skills, the start of 'Search and Destroy' song almost makes goose bumps.Performance wise the lead pair scores best. Emilia is so stunning and graceful that in all her scenes, it's hard to keep your eyes off her. I think in the beginning, the pace of the film could have been more faster. Few of the characters and scenes looks rigid and mechanical. And even though 86 minutes, it could have explored more of Elliot and Chloe's relation. But still the film is quite nice and peaceful.'Falling Overnight' has won 9 awards so far and out of them Parker Croft has grabbed 7 Best Actor awards. I look forward for these young actors in upcoming projects. This film has to be experienced at least once. I love the Romance, Drama, Music and you get all of them in it in some satisfying ways.

There are very few moments in life when you understand you've met the person you are supposed to be with, at least at that point of time. Director Conrad Jackson's take on the movie makes you feel like you are a part of such a moment. Both the lead actors portrait such naivete and at the same time great depth that it makes the story believable. The chance meeting, to the night they spend together, have been woven together so methodically that you never feel out of sync. You feel the pain, the anguish, their love, hope for a future, dreams and just understanding how precious life is in even its most mundane moments.Watch the movie for a good story made excellent due to its direction and great acting.

The question here isn't "Is this film good?" (it is... it's very good) the question is why? Why is Falling Overnight different from films like Restless or Like Crazy. I think the answer is simple... It's real, it's not faking real. If you go to the cinema to be bombarded like an amusement park patron you will hate this film. The Falling Overnight ride is much more subtle and should not be subjected to the crude tastes of those who seek distraction for their movie fix. However if you have a pallet for the intimate, the vulnerable and the honest then you have found your next meal. There is no dish more satiating to those desires then Falling Overnight.

I saw this film at Cinequest in 2011 and I was truly amazed. First of all, it was almost impossible to get a seat. All three screenings were sold out, there was a huge buzz about this film. I have to say that the film lived up to the hype and the festival judges agreed giving it the Special Jury Award. It was masterfully executed through and through. The acting was stellar. The two leads were so believable. It felt like I was watching two people truthfully falling for each other. The direction was spot on. The way it was shot was so realistic. I felt like I was a fly on the wall watching their lives. I gave this film 10 stars and can't wait for it to release. Do not miss the opportunity to check out Falling Overnight when it comes your way. I will definitely go to see it again!
