Reviews for Falling
1 - 13 (sorted by date)
Albert makes her existential study lively and entertaining through a mixture of thoughtful character development and unpredictable storytelling.
07/03/07
Falling is at once a character study times five and something of a generational snapshot.
07/02/07
Top CriticCharging Albert's film with looking too much like an American chick flick is to give it short shrift.
06/29/07
Barbara Albert, the director-writer of the Austrian soaper Falling, probably never thought to call her film One Wedding and a Funeral, but it would have been an appropriate title.
06/29/07
Top CriticFallen is about listlessness in the face of personal and global turmoil and about gesturing toward a political stance.
06/29/07
Part feel-bad cinema and part female-bonding session, Barbara Albert’s Big Chill–ish melodrama gathers together five former schoolmates who meet up again at a professor’s funeral.
10/30/06
Meanders forward with little apparent direction and virtually no interesting drama.

Consciously mannered and using broad brushstrokes and pumping music, Fallen follows five female friends for 36 hours.
09/15/06
It's all quite noisy, but there doesn't seem to be very much going on as the shared confidences and female bonding are not especially convincing.

09/05/06
Top CriticA well-played, cleanly shot but spectacularly empty tale of five female schoolmates reunited at a funeral for a teacher.
