| ALL FALL DOWN offers a pointed, satirical look at how fear seized the nation's judgment in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. When a nine-year-old suburban boy makes the ill-fated decision to dress up as Osama Bin Laden on Halloween 2001, the fragile underpinnings of his dysfunctional family are exposed. The ensuing chaos is both ruefully funny and a stark reminder of the consequences of an emerging culture of fear. |
|
| It's a bittersweet look at how 9/11 effects a family in a small town, the Halloween right after the attacks. It has a gently satirical eye for small town life, without ever being condescending or judgmental. It's also very touching, sad and real about family dynamics and national fears. |
