About this movie

The Falls: Testament of Love is a continuation of the story of RJ Smith and Chris Merrill, two Mormon missionaries that fell in love during their mission in a small town in Oregon. The boys haven’t spoken in five years, but when an unexpected tragedy compels them back to the Oregon town where they served, they find themselves, once again, thrust into one another’s lives.
As old feelings begin to surface they find themselves again facing difficult choices. If they pursue their desire to be together, RJ and Chris risk hurting the ones they care about as they embark on a spiritual journey to discover love, freedom, and happiness.

Ratings and reviews

Courageous Work I think that the film is the most difficult to watch out of the trilogy. Ricky and Chris, the two protagonists of the story, took different paths since the mission and I feel that it was hard to witness the unraveling of emotions and lives. I believe that the movie realistically portrays the pressures of religion and how one adapts to or disrupts tradition. I think that the quotes of scripture and interpretation of them in the movie were compelling. I feel that the climax and ending were exceptional! I love how this film in particular pushes one to think. I think that the title of the film alone resonates an idea.

Much more matured and complex story telling than the first. Really moving to watch. I hope it inspires and brings hope to many in a similar predicament.

Not as good as the first, but wonderful nonetheless!
