Tumbledown (2015)

Very Cool!!!

From my favorite movies..

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

A young woman struggles to move on with her life after the death of her husband, an acclaimed folk singer, when a brash New York writer forces her to confront her loss and the ambiguous circumstances of his death. Tumbledown could have been so much better especially with the way that it started but it went down the hell in such a short time once Joe Manganiello showed up his role is basically just being the sex object nothing more nothing else. And both Rebecca Hall and Jason Sudeikis feel like they were reading their lines threw a handbook. This could have been a great film indeed but it went downhill in a very little amount of time and i wasn't even that much surprised..

This nearly 2 hours movie is a waste of time : Right from the start, you guess the ending but for endless, boring 120 minutes, nothing happens : no moving dialogues, no gripping scene, no key moment ! If you expect to discover the fun of book research, fandom, you fall flat ! If you expect to be gripped by the beautiful nature, this Maine in winter is cold, desert and muddy ! This Sudeikis guy is a poor guy with no talent and totally irritating with his bad jokes, bad temper ! And honestly, i can't stand stories of lovers who are already committed and just because they met someone else a day, they are now in a great romance with their soulmate ! It's totally rubbish, stupid and imagined by people who has never met love ! Here the split is totally inappropriate as the movie implies that because his girlfriend has drunk in a party, she is a drunkard ! So it's really too much and i never buy just a second that Rebecca falls in love ! So except watching Rebecca wearing winter fashion, there is nothing else in this movie and i can't watch it one more time for sure !

Having been raised in Maine, I was excited to watch this movie as much as I am for any movie set in the state where I spent my childhood. I was not disappointed. This movie was not only charming and noteworthy, it also evoked a certain kind of peaceful serenity and sense of hope in me. I believe that it was filmed primarily in Canada but the countryside appeared the same as the rolling blue/green hills of Northern and Western Maine. The soundtrack is incredible. The music by Damien Jurado (check out the soundtrack) is often playing in the background like Hannah's lost husband is an acting character and it is so incredibly beautiful that you really don't ever want the movie to end. When it does you really want to go out and buy that soundtrack. When I watch Hannah struggle through her heartbreak, I am moved. Rebecca Hall does an amazing job representing a true Maine woman in all of her glorious strengths and weaknesses. When the winter is cold and the electricity is out, you light a fire and snuggle up in a sleeping bag in front of it. That's just what you do- you don't complain about it. Maine is a tough place. So vast and beautiful and sprinkled with complex people with their own stories and hardships. Jason Sudeikis was gorgeous as always. This was a romantic comedy and I definitely did laugh...often. The accents are on point and lets be honest, a real Maine accent is almost impossible to be truly recreated by an actor with no real experience down east. Every single charming character was perfectly created and important to the plot, in my opinion, as small as their part may have been. Finally let me give a huge round of applause to the writer. The script! Every verbal interaction was so intelligent, sometimes comedic, sometimes full of emotion and passion. "How is New York? Full of too many people as always?" It's just smart. I appreciate dialogue like words on a page. It was beautifully written. Some of us have been waiting for a movie like this and I couldn't be more satisfied . It's a definite "buy it, add it to your library, and watch it again and again on cold winter days" kind of movie. Tumbledown is a movie metaphor and a mountain...Now I've seen them both with my own eyes and they are amazing.

I was expecting a romantic comedy when I got this movie, and I have to say that not only is that not what this is, I was pleasantly surprised. This movie is about grieving and learning to let go of those we've lost, but it is also sweet in a sort of unexpected way. Rebecca Hall and Jason Sudeikis are a great pair and their on-screen chemistry is fantastic. It's the first movie that has made me a fan of Jason Sudeikis. Set in the beautiful Maine mountains, the soft folk music in the background adds to the serenity of the mountainside and the heartbreak Hall's character is experiencing and the journey you'll go on with her. If you're looking for a movie that is sweet, poignant, and guaranteed to tug at your heartstrings, this is it. I would highly recommend this movie.
