Synopsis

The wickedly funny story of three sisters’ coming of age set against the backdrop of the 60’s, free love, the Cold War, LSD and the down of feminism. Affectionately dubbed “Little Women on acid”, this is a story about the destructive effects of secrecy and the bonds of duty between parents and children.

Reviews

“So many reasons to see the darkly hopeful Canadian film Falling Angels — a terrific unknown cast showcased in subtle close-ups, and a quirky literary script largely free of cliche.”
– Michael Booth, DENVER POST

“It’s the attention to small details that makes the characters so believable, especially in the way Smith delivers their sentiments: in quiet, personal moments.” – Marta Barber, MIAMI HERALD

“…a darkly comic gem” – MACLEAN’S
