Rating:  - A Classic-
This film reaffirmed my undying belief that there could indeed be such a beautiful romance between two woman. The yearning in this film consumes the soul. I enjoyed the inner conflit Camille struggled with throughout it's entirety. Her relationship with Petra was a most beautiful torture. Fantasy mirrored reality, unable to differentiate, she embraced them both. I exulted in the enthralling escape so elagantly granted by this film. It was an erotic education, so effective, so exquisite, it exceeded all estimated expectations. The emotion in this film enslaves one with such easy effort. Viewing was intoxicating. Drunken from a drug I could not deny, I endulged in the erotic chaos of this film. Watch it with your lover or your best friend. Consider it an invitation to explore and venture onward. Let it move you in the many ways it moved me.
Rating:  - a bit disappointed
you can definitely see the parallel btw this movie and "desert hearts". however, in my opinion, the love story btw Camille and Petra could be more in detail. it was not as passionate as i had expected, everything seems to happen too fast. . . .
Rating: - absolutely my favorite lesbian flick
i've seen this a million times. everytime i see it i still feel the goosebumps. i love the dialogue and i love the lead characters. follow your heart and it will never do you wrong.
Rating: - Unbelieveable, exotic, passionate
This movie was superb, I've seen it a thousand times and I don't get tired of watching it after so many years. I was hoping and struggling to bring camile back from the unknow. My only question that. I have asked on numerous occasiones "when is this movie ever coming out on DVD!"
Rating: - Oh, the hyperbole.
I loved this film, and have seen it countless times. I have viewed some scenes in isolation a number of times as well... Both Petra and Camille are portrayed by extraordinary actors, who are concurrently easy on the eyes.
I don't, however, feel the need to compare this film to tawdry, pathetic, overdramatized "coming out" films. Who needs those, anyway? If watching "The Amazingly Unlikely and Nearly Unbearable Story of Two Girls in Love" is your idea of a self-validating experience, you don't deserve to love "When Night Is Falling." Those of you who are completely sick of 'coming out' films, watch "Edge of Seventeen." It's got Bronski Beat, poppers, and waver threads to inspire mourning for your long gone vests and creepers.
Oh, here's a thought - this film celebrates the rewards of stalking. I've always loved that approach... For the record, "When Night Is Falling" was filmed in Toronto, which is not, as I understand, perpetually snowbound.
