By the nature of streaming algorithms and content dumps, "The Falls" might go criminally under the radar but will profoundly surprise those who cross its uncanny sights.

Asian Movie Pulse

"The Falls" proves once more the rather high cinematic level Chung Mong-hong currently resides on, in one of the best films of the year.

Rated: 7/10

The Film Experience

Rated: C
