Some confusion... this is the 91 minute film from 2012. There were also two 2 hour sequels released 2013 and 2016. On top of that, there's a brand new film from taiwan called the falls, releaed 2021. In this 2012 film, rj (nick ferrucci) is a mormon, and bunks up with chris (ben farmer) on his mission. The slow, agonizing telling of what the encounters are like when meeting with people in their homes. When they show affection for each other in a restaurant, a redneck picks a fight. Although rj has almost no bruises afterwards. Clearly, they have feelings for each other. And it leads to other things. That are strictly against the rules. This trilogy of films is similar to latter days, from 2003. Written and directed by jon garcia. Moves pretty slow. Except for smoking pot... someone starts giggling right after his first puff, which is pretty unusual. Harp music. The subject matter is interesting enough, but things take so long to happen. Could have told the story much more quickly.... this didn't need to be told over a five and a half hour trilogy. On another note, the guidelines of the mormon church are evolving; homosexuality used to be grounds for getting kicked out; now the church is more accepting, and one should consult the current guidelines for accurate information.

This is unassuming and yet amazing film making. Two young men are companions together on their spiritual mission-work as Mormons, assigned to spend day and night together as they attempt to spread the Mormon faith, and several copies of The Book of Mormon, through the small-town Pacific northwest. Honestly, if one were not told this was a gay and lesbian film, their eventual relationship would come as an unheralded surprise, it's handled so subtly and sensitively. It follows their admittedly dull days as missionaries, lets a slow tenderness develop between them, and doesn't ruin any of its own surprises as their understated love develops. We only find out as they tell each other, almost halfway through the film, that their reticence and silence all along have cloaked same-sex affections within the not-at-all-accepting Church of Latter-day Saints. Their relationship is one of the subtlest gay love stories in modern queer film, their depicted lives are as as uneventful as actual afternoons of missionary-preaching would be, and neither man is any more articulate than you expect of repressed, closeted, anguished gay youth. One has to give this slowly building, lazily paced, ultimately unexpressive story its own time to unfold, without giving away any of its secrets. Once one appreciates that, even this movie's reticence can be seen to strike exactly the right note. Other here have faulted the two leads for not showing chemistry with one another, but I think we look for chemistry in a screen-couple in heterosexist ways, and we get this couple's chemistry wrong in the same way people missed the chemistry between the leads in _Brokeback Mountain_. These men in their repressed environment couldn't _show_ open, chemical affection for one another. That mainstream audiences can't see it doesn't mean it isn't there among gay male couples. It means they're succeeding in hiding it, for the other, homophobic missionaries within the story, and even for audiences who aren't attuned to it as they watch the film. If you've never had to hide your own affection for a same-sex amour, perhaps you don't appreciate the lengths people go to to hide chemistry from others, and even to hide it from less perceptive viewers of this film. Give this film a chance, and perhaps have more patience with its plodding development than you would with blockbusters, or even with more conventional gay and lesbian films. Its subtlety is actually its strongest suit. The wait for its eventual revelations is the sweetest part of this under-appreciated film.

I liked this movie and even watched it for 2 times already. In my land I see many Mormon missionaries. They offer English lessons to the citizens in the street. And after a several meetings they arrange the "party", where brainwash the public with their testaments. The one of the reasons why I like the movie is that the main characters and the goals of their mission are displayed close to my perceptions and impression of the Mormons. Because of the curiosity, I attended their club of English language and communication between these people seemed to me even more strange, than their communication with us - foreigners. I have seen those who have just started their mission and saw someone who was finishing it. The first somehow reminded me the living people. A little bit too much excited, but so-so. But with the others I felt really strange. And even kinda pity for them. Away from home, in our completely foreign country. Of course, it is not easy, but I don't think that it's all. It is not easy to describe, but it felt like they were completely lost and destructed, you know what I mean? They reminded just shadows that are left of the young and, mostly, attractive guys. And one of the significant moments in the movie, is when the main characters talk about hobbies and Elder Merrill, who is on his mission for a while, has nothing to say back. Interessts are the big part of our identity. Elder Merrill starts to understand what is going on with him and his life. And whose not belief in God, but trust to the people, under whose rules he grew up, was dented. This is how the life goes - all of the rules we live with were created by the other people. Sometimes these rules are absurd and present us with a choice between completely disparate things. Often LGBT people are not freaks or the rebel souls, but absolutely ordinary people. Conformists, who grow up, for example get educated, work hard, go to the church and want to have a family with kids and to die ringed by the grandkids. No matter that the religion and self-acceptance is already threadbare theme in the gay cinema. This theme will always be relevant when it is shown close to the reality. And each generation faces the same problems. I didn't like only the two things about the movie. First of all, one cliché moment in the storyline. The type of the clichés like this, I personally conceive like a laziness of the creators. And I didn't like the tone quality. It seems, they haven't done the voice-overs or how it calls right. But all this is not annoying or mars the impression too much. This movie is really worth to watch.

The Falls is a simple and bittersweet tale of two young men from the LDS church who are partnered in a mission. How could the higher ups of the church know that they were partnering two latently gay men trying to sexually define themselves. When the passion bursts forth it does is explode. It tends to that the longer you are in a closet. Nick Ferucci and Benjamin Farmer are the two missionary elders who've been assigned to Oregon for their duration. One thing this film did not show is the fact that these missionaries don't necessarily do their two year hitch in the same place. You might be assigned Buffalo for six months, Brooklyn for another, and then finish up in Birmingham, United Kingdom. These two were lucky they had enough time to find themselves. And find an awakening sexual experience that was deeply satisfying. I feel for these kids, they've lived a sheltered existence in a cocoon of a church. For Mormon Elders I always try to be nice to them making it clear I don't believe in their doctrine and I'm not trying to get in their pants. These young ones will eventually become the old ones who will get the timely revelations to change that doctrine. There was a scene where the two kids were invited to a person's house simply to be berated. I'd say the berator had more issues than these two latently gay young men did. There was another scene where some redneck homophobe thought them being too affectionate and got a nice beat down for his troubles from Ferucci. He had reason to hate Mormons and gays in his mind. Our older Mormons starting with Mitt Romney forget that they were once a most persecuted people in the USA and world wide. Lastly a free spirited friend they made played by Brian Allard after they've tasted of love gives them a taste of marijuana. Allard is a disabled veteran from Iraq and makes Ferucci and Farmer truly rethink a lot of paradigms they've been taught to accept. Though Latter Days also about Mormons and homosexuality is a more widely known film, this one has a lot of merit and should be better known.

I was moved by this heartfelt film. The dynamic between the two leads is well shown, and they both give very good performances. The major theme of this movie (to my mind) is how people struggle between who they are and their religion (or at least their community's interpretation of religion). This movie depicts the Mormon community and how it responds to gays. One thing I liked about the movie is the ending. I'm not going to say too much, except that I am tired (and aren't most of us) about the gay guy dying or losing out or something bad happening. The ending was skillfully done, realistic but somehow hopeful too. This is definitely recommended.

Thank-you! Thank-you! Thank-you!... Thank-you for expressing my life long discrimination, fears, battle and self-deprivation... as a "gay" with an inescapable and haunting Love for Jesus. I have tried, to get on in the "church" (missions/dedication) but have given up years ago; because I have never felt that I completely belonged/accepted; but neither to the heterosexual, or homosexual, world. The actors were so REAL/tender/vulnerable. The Director... omg, AMAZINGING!!! So sensitive, sincere, and must have come from his/her own reality... similar to my entire life : ( WELL DONE!!!! : ) Where are WE??? The lost and dejected gays with Faith? Please, I want to find "US"... I want to find "Me" : )

This was a class project melodrama that should never have been given the green light.
