Laura Carreira’s directorial debut, produced by Ken Loach’s Sixteen Films, and named Best Film in this year’s DIFF by the Dublin Film Critics Circle, is a social realist film reminiscent of Loach at his best.

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.

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...
On Falling review: shelf loathing
