An absolute waste of money

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

I want to say that Free Fall was an experience. In many ways is like a 40's melodrama. He, his wife and the other woman. What makes it feel different is that the other woman is a man. Hanno Koffler and Max Riemelt are superb as the forbidden sides of this triangle. Frank, compassionate, truthful and painful, very painful. The love and passion, fear and guilt in Hanno Koffler's eyes are haunting and recognizable. Max Riemelt's Kay makes the alternative in Koffler's Marc's life totally plausible and fills it with a form of suspense that the ending didn't completely clear out. So I'm so happy there will be a part 2. I can't wait.

I was quite surprised to find this film to be excellent in all phases from the script to the director to the actors (all) to the camera and to us. It held me all the way through. I don't think there could have been any other ending then what it was. I know many romantics would have love it differently but in the writing there was honesty and truth to behold between the two lovers. There was the frustration, the times, the facts of each of them and their situations. I can't think how there could have been anything else that would change what was inevitable. It took lots of courage to do this film. I felt the actors in the two leads were superb in how they played their roles. Very believable and honest with their emotions. I also liked the wife in how she went through the phases of realization of her situation and what it brought to her. She was lovely in this. Each actor brought simplicity and sensibility in their work. Bravo! This was life and played with honesty, respect and sincerity. Beautifully done.

The movie follows a typical gay story arc -- one guy is completely comfortable being his gay self, the other is in the closet and uncomfortable with it. Yet somehow, they form a relationship, setting up the confrontation of uncomfortable guy having to choose between love and the societal comforts upon which he's built his life.The story itself was quite mechanical -- perhaps not so surprising when thinking about the Germans. There are no campy gay scenes, only love and gorgeous lustfully-writhing German blond bodies. There is no gay drama scene, there is simply an efficient confrontation where one professes love and the other can't break the shackles of his straight life until too late.Although the story is somewhat formulaic, you honestly cannot help but understand the smoldering attraction these 2 actors are able to project on screen. I'm told they are both heterosexual. You honestly wouldn't know it from their portrayals. I found myself understanding why the "in the closet" guy couldn't come out; and I sympathized with the more outgoing "comfortable being gay" guy. I sincerely and highly recommend this movie for the "sturm und drang" it is able to portray, that the actors convey, the importance of the choices each character makes, and the respect used with respect to each character.After a jog in the woods, treat yourself to a German beer or two and this movie, you won't regret it!

This film is beyond words beautiful. The rawness and connection between these two actors and their characters is beyond beautiful. I must admit I've watched this movie over six times and I fall in love with it each and every time there is not one part I don't like. It's a real drama and part of me wishes that Kay would have been apart of Marc's life forever ...but it tore me apart and yes I criedMost films now a days lack originality and they lack some real connection between characters. You could see the relationship between Marc and his girlfriend but you could also see the social norms and expectations for how you were supposed to love in this film. Kay was not the social expectation , but you knew that deep down inside Marc loved Kay, the difference was that Kay didn't let people control him and control his life. However Marc was controlled by people around him which made it difficult to accept the fact of his feelings for this man. Its so real and raw which makes it beautiful . like even when he was trying to rationalize he wasn't gay, that had nothing to do with it, you really can't help who you fall in love with.
