The Falling... for Florence Pugh

What the hell did I just watch?....... Before we get into that mind bending delusional movie, let's get the facts straight:

Movie : The Falling

Director: Carol Morley

Writer: Carol Morley

Rating: 3/10

Okay, so let's get the plot. We follow 2 young girls in a British Private school - Abigail Mortimer played by Florence Pugh and Lydia Lamont played by Maisie Williams. These two best friends have what might be a sexual friendship, but it's never disclosed, but their relationship is definitely something that feels inappropriate, also their age difference is apparent. As we see them live, It becomes very clear that Abigail is the girl everyone wants to be. Lydia on the other hand is lost in a dark spiral and she holds onto Abigail to keep her grounded.

Abigail starts to grow and experience life in such a way that is going to leave Lydia behind, and they both realize it. Abigail has just lost her virginity and is no longer the "young naive" girl from the day before, sex is changing how she views life, it's driving her with desires that have just been unlocked and Lydia doesn't quite understand why. Lydia becomes jealous and angry, as if she needed anymore reason to be hateful (her mom won't talk to her and her "dad" walked out many years ago, not to mention her POS brother who has sex with her. ..... I'm telling you this is a kind of fucked up story.)

Let's get back on track, Abigail gets pregnant from her first time and starts to faint and have really bad symptoms because she's losing the baby. And then one day she passes away, and that again isn't every disclosed why or how we can just assume it has to do with the baby, a life lost too soon RIP. After the loss of her best friend, Lydia starts to faint - she starts making up a sickness that is similar to Abigails.. She even convinces the other girls and even a teacher in the school that everyone is sick. We all know that it isn't real.

The story ends with Lydia's brother having sex with her, and in the middle of the creepy sex, the mom who seems to be out of it, storms in, pulls him off of her and kicks him out of the house. We then find out that the mother was raped and the reason why she can't even look at her daughter is because she looks just like the man that raped her. Lydia then loses it, climbs to the top of a tree and jumps in the water. We close the movie off with the mother and daughter holding each other and crying accepting what has happened to both of them.

The idea of this story is a beautiful story of discovery and aging and life, but it only comes together at the end. Half-way through the movie you think to yourself, "Is it worth it to finish this movie?" There are dream sequences and in multiple scenes it flashes - LITERALLY FLAHSES FOR A SPLIT SECOND - back to Abigail. These flashes just make the movie confusing and are totally unnecessary. It's like Carol was trying to be artistic, and make it more mysterious. The storyline is beautiful enough without all the weird flashbacks.

I will say though, the casting was great! Florence Pugh did a fantastic job in her cinematic debut and Maisie Williams really broke away from her GOT character. Also, Joe Cole made a huge impression and shit human coming from the sweet kid brother in the Peaky Blinders.

The cast really made the movie, because the plot was a bit challenging. I wonder how it was for the actors to get into the role and how to understand where it's coming from? Shoot I get it's hard because I just got done with my first feature film that has a lot of dream sequences... so we will see how it comes out!

“The only thing more exhausting than having a mental illness is pretending like you don’t.” (Tess Linton) In the year of 1969, a time when mental illness wasn’t acknowledged nor taken as a serious matter, more so than the present day. Two young women in an all-girls school, Lydia and Abbie, are the best of friends. One day, when Abigail “Abbie” Mortimer’s mental illness goes untreated, dies whilst still being pregnant after a night with a young man who “had a nice car”. Abbie’s death greatly effects those who loved/adored her, and those who were burdened by her, including her dearest friend, Lydia Lamont, in Carol Morley’s Mystery-Drama, “The Falling” (2014). 😃🏫 Having seen nearly all the films of David Lynch, Stanley Kubrick, Ingmar Bergman, and very few of Andrei Tarkovsky’s work, it’s safe to say that Carol Morley’s #TheFalling was quite a bizarre viewing experience. 😐 As bizarre and hyper-silly as the tale told can be at times, it was strangely sentimental and intimate, it truly was. There’s a lot of heart and soul to be found in this mysterious, ever so wondrous film here. Maisie Williams, as Lydia Lamont, captures the symptoms of a person who suffers from mental illness beautifully. Some would accuse her of “faking it”, but in all honesty, how the hell would they know?! 🤨 The simple fact that mental illness is ignored and not taken as a serious matter is beyond sickening.... Maxine Peake, Monica Dolan, Greta Scacchi, Lauren McCrostie, and Joe Cole are excellent in their respective roles as Eileen Lamb, Miss Alvaro, Miss Mantel, Gwen, and Kenneth Lamont. That of course, brings me to my favorite character of the film, and the love of Lydia’s life, Abigail “Abbie” Mortimer, portrayed sensationally well by Florence Pugh! 😍❤️ As much praise as the story, performances, direction, soundtrack, and cinematography may receive, Ms.Pugh stands as the central highlight for yours truly, and yes, I do indeed have a crush on her! 😁💘 #TheFalling #MentalIllness #LossOfAFriend #LackOfAttention #AllGirlSchool #BestFriendsAreForever #SpecialBonds https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo1cN-aBc-e/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1r9gzkhfmo0y7
