Falling From Grace is not a perfect film, but it's an enjoyable film. Go to Full Review
Malcolm Johnson Hartford Courant 04/25/2018
As a director, Mellencamp produces some of the local color of his hometown, but never really establishes a thoroughgoing sense of place...as an actor, he's unmannered, even true, but a little dull. Go to Full Review

Steve D 02/22/2023 The actors all do solid jobs including its singing star. See more jon c 02/19/2022 John Mellencamp stars and directs himself next to Mariel Hemingway Burned-out country singer Bud Parks returns to his home town in Indiana after a long stretch on the road Bud and his wife Alice realize that the Parks family is having problems and soon find themselves tangled up in a web of lies and deceit threatening their own marriage His father never believed in his music career nor did he care about his feelings Bud has to come to terms with his own past catching up, the secrets of his heart and the truth changes everyone forever The movie is kinda uneventful It's a shame too Hemingway disappears after the 2nd half Mellencamp has no urgency with his narrative and just lingers a lot See more 11/01/2020 Cautionary tale for the alter ego of Mr Mellencamp; generally good performances for a fairly standard predictable movie See more 09/02/2018 This movie completely lagged on. We didn't care for the direction or the quality of sound, which seem to increase in volume in places so much that it was jarring. The movie has dark undertones and is not a romance movie, though the medium from which we reviewed it categorized it as that. All in all, what a complete waste of an afternoon. We love John Mellencamp, don't get us wrong, but this movie was long & tedious. We would have had a much more enjoyable time viewing concert footage. Sorry John, we didn't care for this one at all but we still love your music! See more 04/13/2013 Surprisingly good movie. One of the few rock stars to get it right.
