This film has it all! I first fell in love with this film when it was released in 1995-6. It doesn't matter your sexuality, it has such a great story to it, and the cast is phenomenal. It's a rarity to have a cast such as this depth of skill and whom you actually could not see anyone else in the part. "When Night is Falling" is a romance, a drama, a film about coming to terms with who you are and the sometimes torn self-tortuous coming to terms with your identity and sexuality and what it means to what you have always believed in and the heartbreak it can bring. This is not a man's film about lesbians to what they think is racy, spicy and sexy. This film deals with the emotional realms of women falling for one another and all the complications of the straight woman's sexuality, her church background, and her boyfriend. Patra is excited about Camille a woman whom she has a chance encounter and is attracted to. She soon falls for her and becomes hurt when she sees Camille and her boyfriend together. Then, the coming together in unison as a couple is poetry in motion with the dialogue. The movie is filled with symbolism and imagery. The movie is pure absolute delight! The trapeze artist paralleled the mirroring of Camille and Petra when they first make love of coming together, the unison, and serenity at the end. The whole movie is mind blowing. As I said this is a movie for anyone regardless of your sexuality. I used to show it to my straight friends and co-workers and they loved it. If you have a heart, you're going to love this movie. If you're cold or only into gun action non-drama, romance; then, no you may not like this. But if you still believe in finding the one for you, a love so strong, so committed to one another, weathering life's challenges and coming out of top then this is it. This film gives me hope of finding love, enduring love. This is a must see film and there are not a lot like that. This I my first review but given to chance to write a review I could not let this opportunity slip away. I have told over the decade my new friends and co-workers about this film. It truly is poetry in motion.Read full review
When Night Is Falling is a great love story. None of the characters are stereotypical and the characters are very emotionally appealing. There are several dynamic relationships that all change each person for the better. The best part is there's a happy ending!
A movie I fell in love with. A love story of two people with divergent backgrounds who, despite social difficulties and personal angst, meet and become determined to be in love. The setting, the lack of competing scene, the moving music, the actors, these two beautiful women - all of these marry exquisitely to bring a wonderful story.
Thank-you just what I was looking for, I had seen the movie a few times but now I get to see the extra's...!
Even though there is the seemingly ever-present cheating in this movie, it really turns out to be a sweet love story. The cinematography is stunning!
