At a considerable distance from the ground, where the cover is not enough, its ascent is complicated when a part of the tower structure falls. They cannot go down or ask for help because they are totally far from civilization. They will have no choice but to fight to survive ... [+]

	Author	Review
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"'Fall' is a technical feat of a thriller, yet it's not without a human center. It earns your clenched gut and your white knuckles"	POS
United Kingdom	Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"Wildly effective survival thriller delivers seat-edge suspense (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"Sadly, the concept only takes 'Fall' so high, and the execution, including some ineffective acting, editing, and other technical choices, makes this a misfire (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Noel Murray Los Angeles Times	"'Fall' works because it plucks on the same raw nerve, over and over (...) Sometimes cinema is simple"	POS
United States	James Berardinelli ReelViews	"Forgettable? Yes. But good enough to provide a couple hours' diversion (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Richard Lawson Vanity Fair	"'Fall' is a crafty little movie that grips, and rarely lets go, for 100 or so minutes. It's a welcome refreshment"	POS
United Kingdom	John Nugent Empire	"[It] aims to thrill, and succeeds with flying, vertigo-inducing colours (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Marco Vito Oddo Collider	"With weak leads and shallow characters, 'Fall' fails the audience by its inability to present human beings we can care about (...) The movie is also incapable of creating clear risks"	NEG
United States	Mark Hanson Slant	"By committing to and ratcheting up the ludicrous awesomeness of its premise, 'Fall' coalesces into the kind of proudly dumb roller-coaster ride that's sorely lacking in the current multiplex landscape (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Jared Mobarak The Film Stage	"When the filmmakers finally do decide to throw a curveball, it lands with a thud because they naively forgot certain twists only work if we care about the players (...) The good thing is the craft or genuine tension built"	NEU
United States	Jordan Hoffman AV Club	"Like a viral video you can't stop watching, Scott Mann's film mesmerizes (...) For a crowd looking to have rowdy fun, 'Fall' is gonna make them go nuts"	POS
United States	Chris Evangelista SlashFilm	"Watching 'Fall' on a big screen and experiencing the nerve-shredding vertigo that comes from the proceedings is the kind of pulpy fun that memorable late-summer movies are made of"	POS
United States	Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting	"The novelty of the setting gets diminished by the realization that 'Fall' inorganically wedges its characters into a recycled plot (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Robert Abele The Wrap	"'Fall' refreshingly serves up the kind of back-to-basics survival excitement in this dreary age of apocalyptic popcorn emptiness"	POS
United States	Kristy Puchko Mashable	"Emotionally shallow, but more clever than it needs to be (...) This is not a good movie. But it is [one] that made me cry out, 'Oh good god!' And that's something"	NEU
Denmark	Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"It works surprisingly well, and can even handle the fairly long runtime (...) The simplicity of this concept is executed so well that it gets under your skin as the story evolves (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle	"'Fall' requires creative ways to make you feel every inch of the tower, and MacGregor finds new ways to keep you clinging to the edge of your seat. That's essential (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
Canada	Graeme Guttmann Screen Rant	"An unexciting entry in the survival thriller genre (...) 'Fall' will be torturous for anyone afraid of heights but could otherwise be a bit of a bore for someone looking for thrills that go beyond that (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Paul Bradshaw NME	"'Fall' is properly scary stuff for anyone who hates heights thanks to Mann's lean directing and some perfectly staged big-drop horror (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Matt Donato IGN	"'Fall' makes the mistake of introducing too many cumbersome storytelling elements instead of assuring its core survival situation is fastened securely"	NEG
