Incredible style, concept executed to perfection, and great commentary delivered in a unique way. This is truly superb.

Engaging all the way through, with a fun fourth-wall-breaking end (which I rarely enjoy) Edit Rating Share Rating Delete Lee Ivy on February 28, 2021 6 View Full Rating Share Rating Delete Tom Larter on February 25, 2021 8 Did a lot with very little.

The Fall

Inspired by ‘The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters’, an etching by Francisco Goya, THE FALL is a powerful short film which invites its audience to project their preoccupations and interpretations.
