Reviews


100
The Guardian - Peter Bradshaw
This is terrific film-making – enough to bring a rush of blood to the head.
80
The Telegraph - Mike McCahill
For all The Falling’s period trimmings, its uncanny power resides in these ellipses and blackouts – in elements that cannot be easily rationalised.
80
Time Out London - Trevor Johnston
This dizzying, courageous, utterly humane and slightly unhinged film is a unique achievement.
80
Total Film - Jamie Graham
Ambiguity is The Falling’s currency, and it’s all the richer for it.
70
Variety - Guy Lodge
Morley marries a quasi-Victorian premise with a modernist technique that feels drawn from her film’s own milieu.
