It never feels contrived, never panders to our illusions. When the ending comes, it is neither expected nor a twist. It’s just what happens. Read full review

Mature and moving in its navigation of convoluted, conflicting desires, it’s an indie as assured in its silences as it is in its speeches. Read full review

Regardless of who it sets its sights on, How He Fell in Love tells a complete tale without being tidy, fitting for a tale representative of love’s fickleness. Read full review
