Reviews
"A movie that you might want to see for no other reason than because it exists. There will never be another like it."
- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"It's the most glorious, wonderful mess put onscreen since Terry Gilliam's "Brazil.""
- Tasha Robinson, The Onion (A.V. Club)
"A deliciously vivid adventure fantasy."
- Sean Axmaker, Seattle Post-Intelligencer
"THE FALL is a movie whose every frame pulsates with the desire to be a transportive, transcendent work of cinema. And each one of said frames is full of visual bedazzlement and wonder. So full that one is loathe to sum up with the phrase "Close, but no cigar." But there is something, finally, kind of pushy about the film's desire to be a masterpiece."
- Glenn Kenny, Premiere
"Dazzling and delirious, THE FALL is a celebration of cinema, of old-fashioned storytelling and globe-hopping spectacle."
- Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
