Jumping From High Places
‘Jumping From High Places’ is what’s new this month on Netflix. This film, which was adapted from a novel by Chiara Parenti, is an uplifting story about the struggles of overcoming anxiety and depression. The movie stars Federica Torchetti as a 25-year-old woman with an intense anxiety disorder.
Although its themes are inspiring, Jumping From High Places is disappointing because of its wooden acting and dubbing. The dub is flat and poorly read. While the actors are good, the script is mediocre and routinely clubs viewers over the head. One of the characters, Sole, has a habit of addressing the audience, which adds a sense of immediacy but breaks the flow of the story.
Jumping From High Places is set in Puglia, a region of southern Italy. The story revolves around a young woman named Sole, who fears heights. Federica Torchetti gives an excellent performance that breaks the fourth wall. Torchetti’s character reminds one of the young Audrey Tatou.
