Fall (2022)

"Scott Mann’s film succeeds by simply committing to and steadily ratcheting up the ludicrous awesomeness of its premise."

"Mesmerises even as it tests believability..."

"Fall occasionally feels overrun with... gotchas, but it also offers one hell of an adrenaline rush."

"While the pace falters a little – there are only so many ways you can almost fall off a tower, after all – the tension is unrelenting."

"Made with unusual precision and punch."

"(Fall) fails to rise above mediocrity..."

"Fall crashes headfirst into a film we’ve already seen before, nearly beat for beat."

"A white-knuckle disaster in the sky, Fall does exactly and only what it says on the tin."

"Fall is a technical feat of a thriller, yet it’s not without a human centre."

"A crafty little movie that grips, and rarely lets go, for 100 or so minutes."

"How many times can Mann freak out the audience by cutting to a vertiginous shot of the unfolding crisis? Every time. Sometimes cinema is simple."

"A low-key, high-concept — literally — B-movie that works..."

"The thin dialogue, showy cinematography, and overzealous edits betray the potential of this nightmare."

"Fall asks for so little that it feels like too much to demand something as basic as logic or characters in return."
