Leave your thoughts about Falling Awake.
| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullI'm all for telling generic stories about young artists rising above their lot in life, but for goodness sake, at least shoot it right. |
| Time OutS. James SnyderPlaying smarter and smoother than the plot, Cisneros uncorks an antimacho performance that deviates from type. His unconventional hero is worthy of a more original treatment. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...an affable (yet thoroughly uneven) piece of work... |
| Film Journal InternationalEric MonderFalling Awake isn't completely soporific, but it hardly inspires or enlightens. |
| VarietyJohn AndersonUnderacted, overheated and uses a pair of purloined, high-end sneakers as a 400-pound allegory for getting your priorities straight. |
| New York PostLou LumenickCisneros is an appealing actor, but he and Falling Awake get buried under a welter of clichés. |
| Village VoiceAaron HillisThe film hints at progressive themes...soon disregard both in the service of a hokey gangsta plot. |
| User ReviewMark LGreat story, great location and great direction. Watch it and enjoy! |
| User ReviewAndrew CAn all around great film with fantastic debut performances! I loved it. |
| User ReviewRemi LI was very pleasantly surprised by this movie. Decided to watch it on a whim to see an actor I'm a fan of (Nicholas Gonzales) and though he ended up having a much smaller role than I anticipated, I quickly became consumed by the more prominent characters and their stories. I think the dialogue was the best part of this film. My one complaint sometimes about independent film is that the dialogue feels scripted. With this film, it felt natural, off the cuff, witty, funny. I loved just listening to the conversations between the main character and his friends. This movie is funny, but its also bleak and gritty and sad, but also well done and..diverse..for lack of a better word? The main character could've easily been your stereotypical Puerto Rican 20-something from the Bronx but in this film there's more to him than street ball, his rapper homeboy and his "big brother" from the wrong side of the tracks. The music he loves is diverse, the films and cultures that fascinate him are diverse. I liked that this character wasn't one-note, how the viewer gets to see a new side to him when the situation changers. I'm gonna keep my eye out for more of Augustin's work. |
