Full Plot Details

1969 in suburban small town Canada. Ex-military man Jim Field, married with three high school aged daughters, wants to portray having the perfect, loving family to the outside world, which is anything but reality largely based on his behavior and thus relationships with the other family members. While trying to be what he considers the model father, he cheats on his wife and is a bit of a blowhard. A prime example of his behavior was several years earlier canceling a family vacation to Disneyland impromptu in favor of a two week nuclear attack simulation, taking the family to live during that time in the locked bomb shelter in their backyard. His wife Mary, a former dancer, suffers from chronic clinical depression, exacerbated by family events including her relationship with Jim. Regardless, Jim truly has a protective attitude toward her. She spends most of her time in a semi-comatose state in front of the television while the girls help her self-medicate with alcohol. Each of the girls tries to deal with their family dysfunction in different ways. Norma, the Plain Jane self-conscious one who truly wants a loving relationship with her parents the most of the three, tries to hold the family together in maintaining the house while secretly harboring family memories which no one else in the family will talk about. Lou has always been the rebellious one, she most openly showing her anger toward her father, who she considers a tyrant. In her own world, Sandy models herself after the typical 1950s housewife. The girls' perspectives are affected by their encounters with one person apiece who enters their respective lives. Norma is befriended by perky Stella, a new girl in her class and neighborhood who seemingly could have any friend she wanted. Despite telling others she thinks he's weird, Lou, in her rebellion, pursues Tom, a new classmate, an anti-America ex-American hippie. And Sandy's first customer at the seamstress shop where she has just started working is thirty-eight year old married shoe store owner Reg Shelman, who makes no bones about his sexual interest in her. In addition to these encounters, the family members are forced to face their family dysfunction head-on following a tragic event in the early hours of New Years Day 1970.

Movie Reviews

Denver Post - 8/10 by Michael BoothSo many reasons to see the darkly hopeful Canadian film Falling Angels -- a terrific unknown cast showcased in subtle close-ups, and a quirky literary script largely free of cliche.
Miami Herald - 6/10 by Marta BarberIt's the attention to small details that makes the characters so believable, especially in the way Smith delivers their sentiments: in quiet, personal moments.
Jam! Movies - 4/10 by Bruce KirklandFalling Angels may be rough at times but it has so much going for it, from content to performance, that it demands to be seen, appreciated and talked about.
Film Freak Central - 3/10 by Walter ChawWhat offends most is the patina of smugness that seeps through every frame.
Variety - 2/10 by Dennis HarveyDeftly balances elements of pathos, humor and the grotesque while maintaining a low-key tenor.
User Review - 10/10 by Daniel LReally loved this movie. Gotta enjoy Mark McKinney being a perv.
User Review - 10/10 by Robert LI don't know if this film is officially an indie film, but it feels like it. While it has plenty to pick at, I won't. Because what it does, it does very well. It's not a great movie in the mainstream sense. It doesn't begin or end well. There are as many questions as answers. And it's sad. "Falling Angels" is about a dysfunctional family navigating the waters of a mean spirited father and a drunken mother. Three teenage girls have their own way of dealing with the pain and confusion inspired by their parents, a tyrannical father and a mentally absent, drunken mother. The film is set in the late 60s. The production designer did a fabulous job of finding clocks, lamps, and other objects which were ubiquitous in the late 60s. There isn't a conventional narrative. The screen-play is a collage of scenes from the life of a family desperately trying to stay afloat. It's well acted and superbly directed, with writing which is candid and real.
User Review - 10/10 by Alyssa KI love Katharine Isabelle and have scene all of her films except turning Paige and must admit that this is one of my top 5 favorite movies. Amazing acting and a depressing story line. One sister is pregnant, another a drug attic, and the other, a lesbian. My god, it's got to be a parents worst nightmare. Well it explains the end.
User Review - 10/10 by Brendan EThis is another one of my favorite movies of all time. You just can't go wrong with Callum Keith Rennie. There is a scene near the end that is filmed in the very early morning, when the world is cloaked with a velvet glow. This time of day is so precious and I love seeing it in a film. Canadians make the best films!
User Review - 8/10 by Ben SI saw it for the music, by Ken Whiteley, which was excellent. The story brought me back to a feeling of living in Canada in the seventies... not really feeling like I had choices in life.
