Let me start off by saying this the acting were all superb from the mother to the daughter give a wonderful performances in this psychology drama and tension set during the current pandemic situation. After watching it the psychological damage from the mother happens after the divorce from her husbands Ho is having an affair long before the divorce. I'm touched and moved by the daughter Xiao Jing who stepped up and handles her mother's affair. But the movie is too slow to begin with and the length is too long to be Frank the first half of the movie really bored me to sleep Once the movie enters second act things started to go smoother and faster.. I'm not sure this movie deserves a best picture for Golden Horse because I haven't seen the other nominated movies All I can say is the acting the portrayal was great the message clearly convey A good Taiwanese movie indeed but definitely a slow burn.

This film shines lights on the depressed, monotonous,tepid life since the pandemic. A faithful depiction of what marriage could be like and how irresponsible a man can be. But more importantly, it's about the relationship between a mother and a daughter,how they evolve from bickering to rely on each other, it's touching,heart-felt that you wish the two of them could live happily ever after. With new possibility, new home and the superior from work (what a delight to this character),they find a way out. Although the ending is quite unnecessary, while you are happy about the daughter,then it forces you you remind the title of the film and also wash away the tears that brimming in your eyes.

"That said, THE FALLS is no slacker in drumming up its emotional proportions, after the tumultuous first-half, Pin-wen and Jing's stricken existence literally changes for a rosier prospect after the tarp draping outside their apartment is dismantled, its blueish constraint gives way to an open view of a new lease on life. Jing learns to cope with Pin-wen's condition in the latter's shoes, and such empathetic approach is vindicated gratifyingly and surprisingly in the snake-in-the-room accident. As for Pin-wen, she needs to disabuse the illusion that her ex-husband (Lee) will return, reconciles herself to"the falls" in her head and comes clean to people who genuinely care for her, like the supermarket manager Mr. Chen (Chen). Aptly orchestrating the life-affirming progress that stops short of veering into the lane of mawkishness, Chung puts great trust in Chia's performance. Feelingly transforming from a capable single mother to a logy head case, Chia dives plumb into Pin-wen's deterioration without pretense, and felicitously calibrates the dissonant co-existence of emotional sincerity and cognitive distance. The close-ups of her face gradually swelling with belated emotive register are evidence of Chia's meritorious chops. Somehow it feels remiss that Chung doesn't tap into the sonic impact of "the falls" to grace the film with some more pertinent references of psychosis, although Lu Lü-Ming's stirring score is beyond reproach." read my full review on my blog: Cinema Omnivore, please google it, thanks.

Contrary to what the trailer for THE FALLS and the summary of the film posted on the Netflix site suggest, Chung Mong-hong (PARKING) used the current global health crisis not as the main frame of the action , but more like a trigger, for a rich tale of learning and rebirth unfolding over several months. Clearly, these are the cross-portraits of a fighter at the end of the rope, ripe for a healthy change of life, and a capricious young girl, who learns the hard way to become a responsible and generous adult. Along with an empathetic look at mental illness, the script doesn't spare Taiwanese society, exposing some of its flaws with aplomb. Adopting a slow rhythm, at the risk of generating some lengths, the staging is rigorous, cold at the beginning, then gradually warm, while the two protagonists find a certain balance. These are embodied with great nuance and sensitivity by the formidable Alyssa Chia and Gingle Wang.

Loved how this slow-burn family drama quickly escalated in intensity after Covid pandemic. Chung Mong-hong tried to destigmatize mental illness into daily situations. Alyssa & Gingle framed every feeling superbly over strained relationship and life adversities.

Mother and daughter relations tested in this stressful difficult times. The divorced father adds a further mix into this whirlpool. The teenage daughter was difficult at first but matures and grows up quickly when her mother fell ill from psychosis. This is your movie if you're into emotional, family mix and tugging of heartstrings. Check it out if you make it to the last act, you'll feel a pleasant glow in your heart.

I was very touched by this movie. I thought it did an excellent job of handling a subject matter that affects many of us. There were so many moments that my heart ached for the daughter. The strength of these two women was very powerful. I thought it was excellent.

I am brought to this film by the number of awards that it receives. Despite mediocre user reviews, this film is truly a gem for those who understand "The Falls" from the outside as well as the inside. I think this film is going down as masterpiece in mental health related topics. Score 9/10 highly recommended for a Netflix movie session.

One thing I very much liked about "The Falls" is that it's explicitly about COVID and the impact it's had on humanity's mental health. Here we are over two years into a pandemic that has changed the world forever, and yet I can barely think of any movie that has acknowledged its existence. It's a weird disconnect I've been having trouble getting past. In "The Falls," a mother/daughter relationship takes an unpredictable turn when the two are forced to quarantine together. It's a movie about how terrifying mental illness is, both for the person experiencing it and the person taking care of the one who's ill. But more than that, it's also about the need for younger generations to get out of their own heads and try to see the point of view of those who are older. That's not a perspective I see explored in movies very often. Usually the burden is on the parents to understand the kids and grant them their autonomy. Maybe it's where I'm at in my life right now -- 47 years old, a child who's just become a teenager, manager of people who are a good 15 years younger than me, nursed my dad through a terminal illness and am now taking care of my mom -- but I clicked with this movie and its declaration to a younger generation that the world isn't all about them.
