Too Bad You'll Never Know When You're at Your Happiest.

Review written by Jack Aling


Sound of Falling


Sound of Falling is directed by Mascha Schilinski and written by Mascha Schilinski & Louise Peter.
Starring Luise Heyer, Lena Urzendowsky, Claudia Geisler-Bading & Lea Drinda.

Four adolescent girls each spend their youth in the same farmhouse over the last century. Though separated by decades, resonances between their lives emerge: their desires and distress, secrets and truths, encounters with another's gaze and defiant gaze in return.


A foreboding look into the past, following different generations living in the same space. But this isn't an uplifting celebration of life; it's an obsession with death.


Muted colours and raucous sound design overwhelm the senses for Mascha Schilinski's disorientating journey through time that watches on from a distance with an almost voyeuristic lens.



Our verdict: 4 out of 5 stars.


Sound of Falling arrives in UK Cinemas March 6th 2026
