    Solid neonoir thriller

    Story based on classical pattern (two men and one woman), but very fresh, solid, neonoir, with great soundtrack and brillant micro twists.

    This is not was i was expecting

    The story keeps you engaged, really clever use of photography and composition. Knowing a little bit of the sinopsys won't make any good, go watch it.

    I like it !

    Its basic virtues - it represents a pure example of Central European film. For story, cinematography and perspectives about people in war. A story about a con man, papers annuncements, a family and a refuge, romance and the returned brutal husband , a fundamental change of behavior and a fundamental option. A film about war , defining, in precise - delicate manner , realities after it , decisions and changes.

    Incredible Noir Film!

    I don't normally review movies and actually this is my first review, but wow. This has to be one of the best films I have seen in a long long time. I would even go far to say this was a masterpiece of a film. "Tall Tales" nailed the noir/Hitchcock feel while being suspenseful and intense. I was hooked the whole time and it for sure took me on an incredible journey through the 40s. Music to the cinematography was just amazing. I one hundred percent recommend watching "Tall Tales"!
