80% Tomatometer 10 Reviews Popcornmeter 0 Ratings
On the night of first harvest, three brothers in the American West set out to see a dead witch buried by their friend. When they accidentally desecrate the body, they learn the only way to stop a curse on their family is to burn it before sunrise. This story deals in many ways with the costs of coming-of-age. To leave the shelter of home and venture off into the unknown under the burden of youthful free will without a grasp of the consequences.

Robert Daniels Screen International Falling Stars, tumbles toward a safe landing that leaves its attempted reinvention of Wiccan legends thematically thin Aug 9, 2023 Full Review Daniel Gorman In Review Online The final product is ultimately all a bit clunky, but there’s a charming handmade quality to the proceedings that helps to smooth over some of the regrettable bumps. Apr 14, 2024 Full Review Julia Glassman The Mary Sue Even though some scenes drag and all the film’s parts don’t quite add up to a satisfying whole, the pervasive sense of dread is more than enough to keep you invested. Rated: 4/5 Oct 26, 2023 Full Review Kat Hughes THN A vibe heavy, slow and steady film, Falling Stars is a visually striking tale of superstition and familial bonds. Rated: 4/5 Oct 23, 2023 Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest In gazing up towards the sky, Bienczycki and Karpala find a savvy avenue to look within. Sep 25, 2023 Full Review Michael Nordine Film Occasionally There’s little in the way of overt scares or action in this grounded, decidedly un-supernatural approach to the supernatural. That’s very much a choice, as the kids say, but mostly a good one. Sep 25, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
