Contender for Tommy Wiseau film. But at least "The Room" is funny now. This one is really waisted your time. Avoid it.

5.4Plot summary
Pop surrealism meets satirical melodrama, The Texture of Falling is unlike any film that you've ever seen. It transcends genre and defies classification. It follows Louisa (Julie Webb) as a filmmaker reeling from a recent professional dejection, who meets Luke (Patrick Green),a pianist experiencing his own artistic crisis. Despite a long-term relationship with Ati, (Donny Persons),Louisa is intrigued by Luke. As Louisa falls for him, her skepticism of romantic love begins to unravel as she surrenders to her passions. But as Louisa and Luke's romance blooms, a simultaneous story arises as Michael (Benjamin Farmer),a wayward architect estranged from his wife, meets Sylvia, an enigmatic painter. But are these parallels merely a coincidence? Soon Michael and Sylvia embark on a verboten journey of pleasure and pain. But who is Sylvia? As Michael's lust crescendos, he realizes that he has chosen the elusive. In The Texture of Falling, nothing is what it seems. From its opening shot to its startling climax, the film inverts all expectations. Marking the audacious, unforgettable debut of its writer-director-actor, Maria Allred, it is a visual tour-de-force. It asks what is real and what is artifice. Where do our fantasies end and our passions begin?

I couldn't make it past 15 minutes. Acting and dialog is all so awful and forced, it felt like I was watching The Room. Low budget and boring as hell.

Where Sexuality and Psychology Converge
Set in Portland, "The Texture of Falling" is a highly sensory film casting its spell from the fringes inward, as director-screenwriter Maria Allred's imagery slowly builds a connective tissue between psychology and sexuality. Those needing flatly chronological storytelling need not apply, as Allred knowingly throws us into the churn by working the sinewy, non-linear outer margins of convention.
The film offers two couples: Louisa (Julie Webb) is an aspiring filmmaker developing her first project. She's having an affair with married concert musician Luke (Patrick D. Green),who has no headspace for commitment. Elsewhere, sensual blonde Sylvia (played by Allred herself) is entangled with the married Michael (Benjamin Farmer),who is ripe to explore BDSM. There's a hole this film adroitly fills, as "The Texture of Falling" manages to unpack the psychological emotionalism of BDSM so glaringly absent from "Fifty Shades of Grey (2015)."
It's in the movie's culmination where Allred evolves things from a tapestry of fragments to the wholly realized vision we then realize she's set us up for all along. That clarity leaves us with the strange feeling that we've just become fluent in what was before a tonally beautiful but not fully decipherable language. Somehow, "The Texture of Falling" improbably delivers on its own massive ambition to define things nearly too elusive to grasp. - (Was this review of use to you?
