Falling Like This (2001)

Set in California in the early ‘80’s, the story traces the intense summer romance between middle class Katie (Wilson) and sweet-faced juvenile delinquent (Vaughan). It’s an intimate portrait of young lovers and their world together: the joyrides, the late-night bonfires, family troubles as well as a cycle of incarceration and reunion. Falling Like This serves up a raw, contemporary story of love capturing a moment in time when two youngsters looking for love manage to leave an indelible mark on each other.

Falling in love with this film.

All I can say is, that this film is one of the best indie films I've seen so far. Who would have thought that a love story between a couple of kids could be so romantic and heartwarming? I think that anyone who experienced a first love at such a young age, will find some way to relate. August 9, 2007

where is brian vaughan?

With echoes of BADLANDS and BONNIE AND CLYDE, this film is so immediate that its plotting is a challenge. The commentary and other extra material help immensely.

The onscreen presence of Brian Vaughan (IV) is astonishing--reminiscent of James Dean and the earliest films of Warren Beatty.

But seven years have passed since FLT was made! Where is Brian Vaughan's dazzling film career!??! May 17, 2007

I loved this film.

I really liked this film. The way "Boyd" looked at "Katie" was amazing. When she wasn't looking at him, he was looking at her with this look that just made it seem like he was thinking "Wow she is so beautiful." Vaughan and Wilson put on great performances. The story was sad but touching. I liked it so much that I want to go out and buy it on DVD! April 3, 2004

see this movie

This movie caught me by surprise as one of the best movies i've seen in a long time. I am obsessed. I keep telling everyone i know that they must watch it. The best thing about it is that it seems real. Not like a lot of movies where the dialog just seems too fake. January 3, 2004
