Seems designed to have a love-will-find-you serendipity about it, but instead comes off as formless and inane.

Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times
Rotten

The film's sweetness is endearing but too featherweight to engage.

Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
Fresh

A lo-fi romantic drama that isn't awash in self-pity or -aggrandizement, Conrad Jackson's Falling Overnight is something of a rarity.

Michael Nordine, Village Voice
