Al borde del abismo

A small film from Stelana Kliris, a newcomer filmmaker who is a South African-Cypriot woman. This is the first Cypriot film to be released worldwide through Netflix. Previously, she had only worked on small short films. However, for her first full-length feature, it's incredible how well she both wrote and directed it, surpassing the quality of many Netflix Original productions.

A small romantic comedy that stands out in many ways, surpassing many original Netflix productions. From the unique plot details centered around the "most popular suicide spot and love", which the story intertwines deeply with the complex romantic past of the male lead who is a former rock star. The film also incorporates music, seamlessly blending it into the story as if it were a musical. I highly recommend not overlooking this small film.

Harry Connick Jnr we love you and so good to see you back in movies!

Such a beautiful setting,movie and music focussing on friendship,family values and lost love with a wonderful cast of local Greek actors.

Also refreshing seeing an age appropriate Gen X relationship for once. For me it was a cross between a Mamma Mia type storyline with dominant female characters and yet also a Crazy Heart type feeling without the country and western vibe. I wish more movies like this were produced providing such a non Hollywood vibe supporting local indépendant actors filmed on location in such a beautiful part of the world. More like this please 😊

Cyprus is a perfect backdrop to a story about love, hope, family and empathy. With Harry Connick as the lead we ease into a story of lost love and new friends with beautiful music. What's not to like. Wish the character development was a little deeper but this one was refreshing and light. I especially appreciated the way all the women shared supportive energy. The way all the characters filled out the story made a sure comedy win. I remember meeting a group of guys from Cyprus who ran a fish shack in London. It was the most inviting little place with charm and humor. Even though they were just selling fish and chip they made you want to stay all night and just talk. This film expresses the hospitality of Cyprus. Just hang out and talk.

This is more of a Family movie than a Romance.. and as you could expect, it resparks more than old relationships. The script is quite simple and straightforward (and rather cheesy at times), but it has a good and satisfactory conclusion! It does feel like it is everything they wanted to make, even if it could feel like it falls short from greatness. But it is one of those films that don't have to wow the viewer, as long as it delivers a consistently good story with decent execution.

Saw it in non-English (songs in original voices), but did not deter me from finding the cast to be likeable enough to enjoy it for what it is.

Korea remains in first place, continuously turning out scripts that are world-class, and heavily nuanced. Canada holds its place at the bottom of the heap, offering the least complicated stories in the category. The cotton candy of rom-coms. And, after this film, Cyprus makes a grand entrance onto our Leader Board, with FIND ME FALLING 2024, a gentle but engaging tale that never disappoints in terms of either story or scenary. An unintended sub-arc here is how men age. Connick sounds the young man from days of yore, but he looks different, and his energy is different too. Luckily, the newer (older) Connick is perfect for this part. Contrast Harry to Bob Joyce, for example, who, after an even longer absence from the public eye, has kept his hairline, his twinkle, and his unique lower register.
