The Fall

I agree with all the reviews about the beautiful cinematography but really can't give this film a thumbs up.  Generally fairy tales are aimed at children but I've never seen a fairy tale so dark, so violent, and so geared for a more mature audience.  And that's the flaw, it seemed to try to be both a adult and a childrens film at the same time.  In the end, "The Fall" misses it's mark with either group. 

Also, while the little girl Alexandra (played by Cantinca Untaru) was cute as a button, unfortunately her accent was so thick that I was expecting subtitles. And why is the main character Roy (played by Lee Pace) dressed-up like Lady Gaga?

A better choice to watch would be "The Princess Bride."
