“Find Me Falling” is a Netflix romantic comedy starring Harry Connick Jr. and Agni Scott.
Every so often, Netflix seemingly ‘surprises’ us with a love story that, coincidentally or not, bears a curious resemblance to its predecessors. It invariably involves two individuals finding their common path thanks to the enchantments of love. Characteristically, a city tourist finds refuge in a smaller but far more charming and appealing location. This is a formula that persists in a specific genre of romantic films, and they always strike a chord with their target audience who consume them with unwavering devotion.
“Find Me Falling” dutifully conforms to the norms of this ‘touristy-romantic’ genre. While it may not satisfy the critics or win any Oscar, it caters perfectly to its devoted audience.
Plotline
A renowned singer buys a house on an island in Cyprus, oblivious to the local legend. His property overlooks a cliff infamous for suicides. Here, he meets a mysterious and enchanting singer who reawakens his zest for life.
The Cast: Harry Connick Jr. and Agni Scott
Leading the film is a star of the music world, Harry Connick Jr., playing, fittingly, a music star. He fits the role of a mature and seductive man who has seen brighter days in music. His heydays may be behind him, but much like his real-life persona, he continues to be a star, just not topping charts or trending.
Agni Scott takes on the female role in the film. Despite having a handful of films under her belt, she hasn’t made a significant breakthrough as a leading lady. She plays Sia, a singer barely making ends meet but with a big personality.
Our Verdict on “Find Me Falling”
This film, devoid of any originality, merely milks the well-worn ‘touristy-romantic’ formula. It is neither better nor worse than the scores of films that have preceded it – just another one to add to the list.
