On Falling – drama – 15 (Refractive cert)
Dir. Laura Carreira
2024 – 104 mins – UK, Portugal – Language: English
Set against a landscape dominated by an algorithm-driven gig economy, in a world designed to keep us apart, award-winning film (BFI London Film Festival 2024), On Falling, explores the silent, vital struggle to find meaning and connection. It tells the story of Aurora, a Portuguese migrant working as a warehouse picker in Edinburgh, Scotland. Trapped between the confines of a vast distribution centre and the solitude of her own bedroom, Aurora seeks out every opportunity to resist the alienation and isolation that threaten her sense of self.
This is a very impressive debut
-The Guardian
“Captivatingly crafted with powerful anti-capitalist sentiments, and a belter of a lead performance to boot, it’s a film that hypnotises and enrages simultaneously, keeping us absorbed with its empathy for the heroine.”
- In Their Own League
“a clarion call for a new generation of social-realist cinema”
–Guy Lodge, Variety
