The Fall

What to Know

Critics Consensus

More visually elaborate than the fragmented story can sometimes support, The Fall walks the line between labor of love and filmmaker self-indulgence.

Peter Bradshaw Guardian I have to admit that in general the film’s rather placid, stately, fantasy style can be exasperatingly inert... [But] there are some startling images and the film has a distinct, odd flavour of its own. Rated: 3/5 Sep 25, 2024 Full Review Ty Burr Boston Globe Rated: 2/4 Nov 24, 2011 Full Review Joshua Rothkopf Time Out Rated: 5/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Alex Papaioannou InSession Film Despite how we may be feeling at any given moment, it’s important to look around at the stories and the people surrounding our life, and seek out the inherent beauty in all of it Rated: B Oct 23, 2024 Full Review Sharai Bohannon Dread Central The Fall is an unmatched feat in visual storytelling. Rated: 5/5 Oct 11, 2024 Full Review Jayne Nelson Radio Times As a story, The Fall misses its mark. As a work of art and a portrayal of childhood, it dazzles.

A2 Absolutely stunning to see on the big screen. Reaffirms the need for film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/26/24 Full Review chris A wholesome movie dealing with a very real and serious subject. The acting and pacing were excellent and everyone was both teary eyed and laughing in the end in the theater. I suggest it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/23/24 Full Review C. Great movie, beautiful scenery, loved it. It would be five stars but there was one moment the story dipped for me, but five minutes later I was back in it Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/21/24 Full Review Angela Such a beautiful movie. It's a love story to storytelling and relationships. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/20/24 Full Review Darian If you enjoy movies like "Big Fish" and "What Dreams May Come" - this is your kind of movie. It's emotional realism juxtaposed with visually gorgeous fantasy. At the center of it, you have the story of a young man who's hurting, and little girl who's hurting and they make friends as they recover. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/16/24 Full Review Daniel Never seen anything else like it. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/16/24 Full Review Read all reviews
