Set against the backdrop of the pandemic, The Falls follows the story of a mother and daughter whose relationship takes an unexpected turn while quarantining. The story deals with an important topic of psychosis. We have films which are often being made on depression but psychosis is almost like the next step of depression which is not being talked about enough. It stems from loneliness or depression and slowly makes you lose sight of reality. This is a serious issue that needs to be discussed more often. The screenplay here breaks the relationship between the mother and her daughter into smaller fragments. The rush of youth coupled with the loneliness of being an adult are quite nicely addressed here. The emotional trauma that is builtup during the pandemic coupled with personal loss does paint a very poignant picture here. Slowly, the drama shifts to the gaze of the daughter as she sees her mother suffer as her condition keeps on getting worse. The change in their strained relationship is beautifully portrayed here. There is this melancholic tone that is maintained as an undercurrent here through its runtime. In the last 10 odd minutes you witness a tragedy which is open to interpretation. One complaint which I had was that the film felt a little too long and a good 10 to 15 minutes could have easily being trimmed out to enhance its impact. But overall, a well written screenplay.
