Liza and Sally's relationship crumbles while celebrating a birthday.

Charlotte O'Sullivan

London Evening Standard

The Hackney-bound pals sulk, flirt and hoover up vast quantities of cocaine.

Rated: 2/5

Guardian

The acting is patchy, episodes of kitchen-sink drama flat-footed, and - this could spell kiss of death to its cult potential - thuddingly earnest in places.

Rated: 2/5

Little White Lies

It's clear that the film wants to appeal to the gritty modern drama fans, but Break My Fall comes across as a bit beige where it could afford to get a bit more dirty.

Rated: 1/5

Total Film

It doesn't amount to much, though the post-punk soundtrack adds bite.

Ultimately let down by an irritating lead character, some dodgy acting, a frustrating, frequently dull plot and an unconvincing finale.

Rated: 2/5

Allan Hunter

Daily Express (UK)

Gritty social realism is equated with people vomiting and taking drugs and the low-budget aesthetic results in casual framing and lots of rough edges.

Feels like a waste of decent actors on two dimensional and ultimately, boring film with seemingly no narrative oversight. Not worth the time.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars
