An essentially straight-faced story about a cocky New York cabbie (Schaeffer) who gets into a hot and heavy affair with a European supermodel.

AV Club

Fortunately, when America's love affair with Eric Schaeffer finally kicks in, there will be a fat back-catalog of little-seen Eric Schaeffer projects ready to be discovered.

Fall leans too heavily in the direction of vain and smug.

TV Guide

A narcissistic, ego-driven gabfest courtesy of indie auteur Eric Schaeffer, who appears not to have figured out that therapy is cheaper than moviemaking.

Rated: 1.5/4

Reel Film Reviews

Fall often feels like a remake of 9 1/2 Weeks, with Schaeffer seemingly competing with Mickey Rourke for most..disgusting sleazeball ever committed to celluloid.

Rated: 1/4

His words convey, for me, the intoxicating power of love better than anyone, ever. To be present to appreciate each Fall I get to experience in my life is an amazing gift that bring me back to his words, always reminding me to seek and celebrate love in our lives. And special thanks to all the other folks here who took the time to write such amazing reviews and validate my experience.

An addicting film that takes you back to when love was new, vulnerable, young, free...the what-ifs, the missed phone call, zemblanity. It asks you if you are really happy or do you wait for the next minute, hour or lifetime. Do you settle or do confront the what-ifs, taking that chance for deep, wonderful love.

Tedious. Amanda De Cadenet does a capable job as a bored high-fashion model who has an affair with a cabbie/successsful writer, played by Eric Shaeffer who also wrote and directed this tarnished little gem. She lives for the glamorous life and he rejected it, even as she rejected him for the life she needs, even more than him. And she warned him at the start. He might have made a better movie if he had casted someone more appropriate in the starring role, other then himself and his penis. The charisma between the two leads is nonexistent, and his narration put my teeth on edge. Another director would have shown more of her skin and less of his. The references to homosexuality only reminded me, that this little film might have been better if she had gone out of town and Phillipe had stuck around for two months of chinese takeout on the living room floor.

This movie felt very shallow, not only that but the dialogue would've been better if Steven hawking read it.
