The Fall is a self-reflexive film that deals primarily with the concept of storytelling. Roy Walker tells a story to Alexandria, who imagines it, but there is a discontinuity between what he describes and how she sees it. Each character brings their own life into their experiences of the story; Roy takes inspiration from the film that he was working on before his accident, and Alexandria populates his story with familiar sights from her own life. The intimidating X-Ray operator becomes an enemy soldier, the 'Indian' is seen by her as an immigrant co-worker from the orange groves, while Roy's dialogue makes it clear to the audience that he meant 'Indian' to mean a Native American man from the Western film he was involved in.

Indescribable beauty with the overall depth of the plot. It combines a fairy tale, a film about the seamy side of cinema, and the coming-of-age story of a young orange picker. Realism is painfully intertwined with fantasy.
Aesthetically beautiful and so sad at the same time. Excellent work by the director. An incomparable children’s game. Well, Lee Pace, as always, is very handsome :) I’m surprised that I missed this picture.
Very beautiful film! The idea of presenting and experiencing your experiences, fears and love in fairy tales is simple, but very exciting!
