Pat Brown Slant Magazine The past comes off in Mascha Schilinski’s film as an onerous, if unseen, weight on the present. Rated: 3.5/4 Sep 12, 2025 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Whatever issues one may have with the storytelling approach to “Sound of Falling,” its technical achievements are undeniable. Jun 18, 2025 Full Review Justin Chang The New Yorker Schilinski proves herself to be her own filmmaker. Her touch is more playful and tender than punishing, and I can’t wait to see what she does for a follow-up. Jun 2, 2025 Full Review Andy Howell Film Threat Sound of Falling isn’t a popcorn movie, or something you can watch while distracted. This is cinema as pure art, and requires concentration and reflection. Rated: 10/10 Oct 13, 2025 Full Review Will Bjarnar Geek Vibes Nation Rarely do we ever see ideas – profound, stirring, beautiful, and gutting ideas – depicted like this. In many ways, we’ve never seen anything like this at all. Rated: 9.5/10 Oct 10, 2025 Full Review Frank J. Avella The Contending There is a power to Schilinski’s storytelling, and she has a singular style for certain...the viewing experience was simultaneously fascinating and frustrating...
