Thank you!

Thoroughly recommend @lauracarreira.bsky.social's debut feature On Falling which quietly and devastatingly explores the soul-destroying nature of the gig economy and the rise of social disconnection in modern society.

@lauracarreira.bsky.social What an incredible, impactful film. It will stay with me.

Thank you ❤️

The expendables

Laura Carreira’s spellbinding feature debut On Falling, about a woman who takes a job in a warehouse run by an online shopping giant, and Bong Joon Ho’s Mickey 17 share an implicit concern for the precarity of modern working conditions and the loneliness of modern life

<em>On Falling</em>: Crushing exploitation and a sense that something’s got to give Director Laura Carreira repeatedly returns to the same settings of Aurora’s work and life, almost tableaus, to illustrate the repetitiveness and drudgery of her existence.

On Falling review: shelf loathing A young Portuguese woman living in Scotland becomes worn down and isolated by a precarious job as a workhouse picker in this accomplished first feature.

Just went to see On Falling, the story of a woman working as a picker in a not-Amazon warehouse. I found it pretty devastating (I haven't cried at a film since Aftersun) and I would definitely recommend it www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-so...

Então, acho que nunca me tinha acontecido ficar abalado ao tentar explicar o que um filme me fez sentir imediatamente após o seu término, mas aconteceu com o On Falling. Um retrato muito real da vida de uma emigrante com um trabalho precário. Mais que recomendo irem ao cinema ver.

Vanavond ‘On Falling’ van Laura Carreira gezien. Een hele mooie film over een Portugese arbeidsmigrant die in een distributiecentrum in Schotland als orderpicker werkt. Over menselijkheid, en het gebrek daaraan op veel plekken in onze maatschappij. Aanrader!

On Falling, um filme que nos mostra a realidade atual.
Sem qualquer expectativas de futuro para toda uma geração.
Sem futuro, sem sonhos, sem possibilidade de realização como ser humano, não é possível uma vida digna.
A ver, a meditar e a reagir antes que seja tarde.

Paulo Portugal entrevistou a realizadora portuguesa Laura Carreira, durante a exibição de “On Falling”, na secção competitiva da 72.ª edição do festival de San Sebastian. Partilhamos o resultado dessa conversa no site.

Quem és tu afinal? As inevitáveis comparações com Ken Loach fazem-se sentir quando "On Falling" manifesta a sua estética academizada, alinhando-se com uma vertente de realismo proto-dardenneano - a protagonista, uma tra...

"On Falling" é mais do que o esperado tratado político. É um filme de humanidades em tempos modernos.
