Featured reviews
Having lived in Las Vegas every day of my life, I was enjoying it, up until the end. How freaking depressing, since it mirrors what happened to me almost exactly. (Only my mom was a nurse, not a stripper.)
Sad, sad movie, not sad in a good way, like "Beaches" or "Steel Magnolias"...just depressing!
Brittany Murphy is going to be getting an Oscar someday, she's always so good in movies. If you like her, I'd suggest Freeway or something else.

I thought this was a wonderful film.It brings out what really happens in life.Things that we don't ever think about that happens, but they do.Made me realize how lucky we really are, just to live ,because there is always someone out there that either has it just as bad as you,if not worse.This is a movie you have to watch till the very end to know you like it.If you just watch the first 20 minutes you might feel as if the film is a little boring and out of touch, but if you keep watching you'll enjoy. If your the type of person that has to be entertained throughout the whole movie,perhaps,this isn't the movie for you.Although, if you like things with meaning,you should definitely see.
If you like tear jerkers, this one is for you. If you have ever dealt with suicide, this one is for you. I hate tear jerkers but this is one film that is outstanding. It was genuine and not unrealistic like a lot of movies. this movie is true to what people go through living with an alcoholic and/or dealing with suicide. The acting in this movie was fantastic.
One of Brittany's best movies. Love the song "The Sky Is Falling" during the end credits. Brittany's performance is brilliant. She truly could play any character. The movie is realistic & portrays the struggles with disease & addiction really well. The ending is absolutely perfect. Fantastically written. The entire cast & crew were amazing.

"Falling Sky" is a shabby attempt at making a serious drama of the same ilk as "Anywhere But Here" and "Tumbleweeds"; mom/daughter stories where the daughter is the more mature of the two. Fraught with ineptitude in just about every aspect, the tragedy of this film isn't in the story. It's the blotch on the resumes of the cast it creates. Pass on this loser.
