Fallen Fruit: Review. By Richard Schertzer.
A lot of films will have heart and humor with a meaningful message inside of it. Fallen Fruit is a film that has that but it has no idea how to use any of those elements correctly to make an effective comedy-drama.
In the movie, Alex, a young man in his 20s, moves back home with his family and after a series of jobs and plans don’t go as planned, he begins to grow wary of his prospects and sinks into a deep depression that could only be felt once you know what rock bottom truly feels like.
For starters, the film is another retread into something that could have been a lot better than what it was. It seems like a college film that was made in a few days and there is nothing wrong with that, but when making a professional film, it doesn’t do itself any favors being made this simply for audiences.
I will say that the cinematography is nicely composed and shot for a Miami landscape. The realism of this film befits its simplistic plot, while not being too overly bombastic.
This film feels like a half-made concoction of what is yet to come and is going up against other heavy-hitters in the independent film space. With that being said, it’s very easy to forget about this LGBTQ+ film when there are so many others like it.
Overall, the film has a very good heart behind all of it, but it fails to reinvent the LGBTQ+ film genre with any meaningful message or themes.
