Most people, it seems to me, yearn to be seen and heard, and thrive on empathy. It took me a long time to accept my own father as he was, with as little judgment as possible, but I\u2019m glad that I eventually did so. And he returned the gesture, for which I\u2019ll always be grateful.\u00a0<strong><em>FALLING<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is, in large part, about the importance of accepting and forgiving, of learning to live with others and with oneself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no denying that Mortensen is a talented actor, but how will he do as a director? It\u2019s hard to tell too much from the trailer for\u00a0<em>Falling<\/em>, which plays like a pretty standard tearjerking domestic drama. But the film did earn all kinds of accolades from the film festival circuit, making the official selection at Sundance, where it made its world premiere; getting in the official selections at Cannes, TIFF, and San Sebastian; and earning a nomination at the\u00a0European Film Awards.<\/p>\n<p>However, \/Film reviewer Jason Gorber was not one of those taken by\u00a0<em>Falling<\/em>, calling Mortensen\u2019s directorial debut \u201ca total disaster,\u201d in his review, in which he writes: \u201c<i>Falling<\/i>\u00a0fails hard, unable to generate sympathy for its protagonists and relying entirely on the charms of its writer\/director to sustain interest. It\u2019s a shame, as Mortensen\u2019s a fine performer with a strong legacy, but the film feels like the worst kind of passion project, one that forgot to bring the audience in for what amounts to a film more masturbatory than moving. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here is the synopsis for\u00a0<em>Falling<\/em>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>FALLING\u00a0<\/em>follows John (Viggo Mortensen) who lives with his partner, Eric (Terry Chen), and their daughter, M\u00f3nica (Gabby Velis), in California, far from the traditional rural life he left behind years ago, while his conservative father, Willis (Lance Henriksen), lives alone on the isolated farm where John grew up. In the early stages of dementia, Willis is brought to John\u2019s California home to help him relocate. Unfortunately, their best intentions ultimately run up against Willis\u2019s adamant refusal to change his way of life in the slightest.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>Falling<\/em>\u00a0will release\u00a0in theaters, on Digital and On Demand on <strong>February 5, 2021<\/strong>.<br \/>\n<!-- SlashFilm_300x250_In_Post_2 --><\/p>\n<p>                            <strong>Cool Posts From Around the Web:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>                            <!-- \/post -->\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
