  • "Falling Angels, is a gem of a film. Based on Barbara Gowdy's acclaimed novel, it is the wryly funny story of three sisters coming of age in a wildly dysfunctional family. Set against the backdrop of sixties' free love, the Cold War, LSD and the dawn of feminism, Falling Angels is a sardonic look at what really goes on beneath the surface of suburban harmony and bliss."@en
  • ""Set in the late '60s and filmed on-location in Saskatchewan, this dark family drama focuses on the three teenaged daughters of the Field household. Callum Keith Rennie plays Jim Field, the loud-mouthed, domineering patriarch who has intimidated his wife Mary (Miranda Richardson) into a catatonic state of alcoholism and depression. Norma (Monté Gagné) is the oldest, most responsible daughter; she is overburdened and preoccupied by events from the past. Middle child Lou (Katharine Isabelle) chooses the rebellious path in order to escape her father's unreasonable demands. Youngest daughter Sandy (Kristin Adams) aspires to maximum femininity, engaging in an affair with an older, married man (Mark McKinney) in the process"--Film Movement web site."@en
