Top Critics Reviews

So 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.

It's the attention to small details that makes the characters so believable, especially in the way Smith delivers their sentiments: in quiet, personal moments.

Deftly balances elements of pathos, humor and the grotesque while maintaining a low-key tenor.
