Leave your thoughts about Break My Fall.
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineWithout a clear narrative, it's not an easy film, but it's honest and often painfully raw. |
| Time OutBen WaltersBoth plausibility and suspense, if not quite Fassbinder-grade toxic tension. |
| Total FilmJamie RussellIt doesn't amount to much, though the post-punk soundtrack adds bite. |
| London Evening StandardCharlotte O'SullivanThe Hackney-bound pals sulk, flirt and hoover up vast quantities of cocaine. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerUltimately let down by an irritating lead character, some dodgy acting, a frustrating, frequently dull plot and an unconvincing finale. |
| Daily Express (UK)Allan HunterGritty social realism is equated with people vomiting and taking drugs and the low-budget aesthetic results in casual framing and lots of rough edges. |
| Little White LiesZara MillerIt's clear that the film wants to appeal to the gritty modern drama fans, but Break My Fall comes across as a bit beige where it could afford to get a bit more dirty. |
| User ReviewDavid GFeels like a waste of decent actors on two dimensional and ultimately, boring film with seemingly no narrative oversight. Not worth the time. |
