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 Doug Jamieson The Jam Report It is a difficult, sometimes alienating film, but also one of immense power, anchored by extraordinary performances and crafted with artistry that leaves you shaken. Rated: 4/5 Sep 25, 2025 Full Review Shannon Cotter Film Ireland Magazine Sound of Falling is a film which requires repeat viewings as much as it deserves them. But with cinematic flair, epic feeling, and boundless images, Schilinski has ensured that will be no plight, but rather a pleasure. Jun 20, 2025 Full Review Sarah Manvel In Their Own League The single location makes the non-chronological story easy to follow and the result is extraordinary. “Sound of Falling” is a beautiful and beautifully shocking film.
