Peter Howell Toronto Star Schilinski’s direction is intoxicating and unnerving, refusing easy explanations as it immerses viewers in a dreamlike atmosphere. May 30, 2025 Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times A taxing, extraordinary film that, if we may be so pompous, sits comfortably in the tradition of austere European art house. Rated: 4.5/5 May 24, 2025 Full Review Ben Croll TheWrap For all its opacity, “Sound of Falling” is unambiguous about its creative inspirations, alchemizing visual and narrative motifs from Bergman, Tarkovsky, J. A. Bayona, Andrew Wyeth and the brothers Grimm into a form that Schilinski can call her own. May 19, 2025 Full Review Hector A. Gonzalez InSession Film Schilinski trusts the viewer to sit with discomfort and recognize the echoes of trauma not just in dialogue or expression but in the air, silence, and repetition Rated: A- May 28, 2025 Full Review Philip Bagnall Loud and Clear Reviews It’s especially impressive that the stories intercut without overwhelming each other, while still maintaining the revelations of the plot for as long as possible. Rated: 4/5 May 23, 2025 Full Review Morris Yang In Review Online Mascha Schilinski’s phenomenal Sound of Falling suffuses its textures of bare, unadulterated vignettes with the porousness that comes with things half-remembered, events reconstituted, all to permeate the vague and vast gestalt of collective memory.
