rydellsan I loved this movie the first time I saw it. This story proves that fate is the hunter and some things are not written into the script of life until the last minute. Meryl and Robert are perfect in their roles as are Jane, David, Harvey and Diane. The scenes on the streets of New York were pleasant and true. I enjoyed the understated element of suspense also. I always marvel at Meryl's facial expressions, they speak for her. It's a pleasure to see Robert play an ordinary blue-collar worker, he did it well. The music of "Mountain Dance" fit the movie perfectly. Well written, excellently acted, always a favorite. I have recommended this movie to many friends.

Terence Frederick The storyline is very simple and De Niro and Meryll plays the lead roles. They both lit the screen with so much charm that it would pass for a good movie. The on-screen chemistry between them were so natural. Apart from the lead acting/actors the music of Gruzin was fine.Reviewing the cons, firstly the movie is inspired from "Brief Encounter". There is not one comedy or a memorable phrase in the movie and i'm so surprised the massive on-screen talent of De Niro & Streep were wasted. The screenplay was bad,IMO, and for the first time i'm getting bored to see Meryll (in this movie) blushing like a college girl every time she sees De Niro. The cinematography was just okay.

kellypaul I've just seen FALLING IN LOVE for the first time and loved it. Meryl and Robert made a great team. So many memorable scenes - Molly in bed ,flicking through the pages of a magazine while pouring her heart very quietly to her friend, declaring her love for Frank and how she thinks about him all the time. I also love the scene where Molly speeds to Frank's house in the pouring rain and nearly has an accident at the train crossing. I thought Frank's explanation to his friend at the end was rushed. Are the boys now staying with him permanently? So poignant when Molly and Frank meet again in the bookshop and neither can bring themselves to admit they are free.

Jackson Booth-Millard This is a really sentimental film about how a first brief meeting, and then another few can start a bigger relationship. Starring Robert De Niro as Frank Raftis, he bumps into Meryl Streep as Molly Gilmore in a book store, and they get their wrapped books mixed up. A few months they meet each other again at the train station, and they become friends. They see each other a few more times after that, and then eventually they realise it is love, but they are both married! It is amazing how only a few meetings turns into obsession, it is obviously when bad things happen to them both, and their marriages, that you wonder if they should be together. Also starring Harvey Keitel as Ed Lasky and Edward Scissorhands' Dianne Wiest as Isabelle. Good!
