In 2024, amidst Hollywood’s constant strive to redefine the psychological thriller genre, “Find Me Falling” arrives as one of the most intriguing new additions. This film, from the visionary mind of Michael Jameson, investigates the terrifying place where we navigate the twisted roads that lead us to inhabit our wildest fantasies and darkest fears inside our minds. About This Review for filmshub24. In a new series with Collider. com, we will explain why “Find Me Falling” is the exception that shrinks in the thriller of unshakable landscape and which could be one of the highest-profile feature films to come up and fight it out in 2024.
Plot Overview
Essentially, Find Me Falling is the story of Evelyn Sawyer whose life has been shattered after a life-changing occurrence that makes her uncertain what is reality and what is a delusion from her frail mind. Evelyn,(Rachel Weisz, doing some of her best (and prettiest) work,) begins to have realistic and creepy dreams that feel more like disjointed memories from another life.
With Evelyn trying to navigate through her web of lies, we are introduced to a world in which everything is not as it meets the eye. When a mysterious stranger — played by Loki himself, Tom Hiddleston (pictured) — shows up in her life, it sends her fragmented view of realityfurther off the rails. Find Me Falling is made up of grief, memory and manipulation and it reveals layer upon layer only to keep the viewer hooked until its very last frame.
Cast and Performances
The performances in “Find Me Falling” are outstanding. Rachel Weisz turns in a career-defining portrayal of Evelyn Sawyer. Weisz nails the slow descent of Evelyn into panic, but imbues it with a range emotions from vulnerability to resolve. The distinction between Weisz’s dreams and reality blur as her intoxicating performance entwines the audience deeper into Evelyn’s fractured mind.
Meanwhile playing the unreadable attending surgeon Tom Hiddleston sits opposite Weisz. That well-worn combo of charm and menace is as present here as ever, Hiddleston keeping us on our toes about whether his character has come to save the day or to accelerate the apocalypse — probably both.
Jessica Chastain, Jessica as gently therapist Evelyn and Riz Ahmed detective suaneira false stories fill many more complements for the and plot points. They both give taut performances, which feeds the tense situation lurking ahead and present those important components to the psychological riddle Evelyn is about to unweave.
Direction and Cinematography
With other mind-bending thrillers under his belt, “Find Me Falling” is the work of a sure-handed one Michael Jameson. His pacing is both sharp and deliberate, constructing a visual language specific to the disorientation of Evelyn. The direction is intentional in keeping all of us as confused about what’s going on as the protagonist.
Pretty Dreamscape cinematography by Charlotte Bruus Christensensets the perfect tone for it all. A lot of the ambience comes from its use of lighting and shadows, that really helps to establish this as a dream-like world — but not in a playful way. The camera work can sometimes be quite intimate, mirroring Evelyn’s state of mind as she spirals: long lingering shots that provide breathing room and add to the unease.
Themes and Symbolism
The 1987 film which also explored how trauma and memory can affect the perception of a crime really resonated with both of them, developing into a profound influence on Find Me Falling during its development as Embla (through Paper Cinemas Agent for Change Programme in August 2019) was re-working Lee Drysdale’s original script to rediscover the story. It leaves you questioning: How much of what we remember is based in reality and how much stems from our unconscious?
This film is built around the conflict of dreams vs. reality. Evelyn has particularly colourfuldreams (and is beginning to find it hard to differentiate them from reality, a pea-souper for us as we are also becoming increasingly confused about what is real and what isn’t). The title of the movie, “Find Me Falling”, shows Evelyn seeking understanding as she drifts further from reality into her own mind, solving the fantasies with which familiarity clothes itself.
Additionally, the movie examines isolation and trust as Evelyn begins to question those around her. A therapist, the man known only as “The Writer,” and even Reika’s memories are stand-ins for different aspects of her own fragmented psyche in a place that serves as more of a symbolic battleground—trust is a weapon.

Carefully paced, the film plays like a slow burn that intrigues those with patience. The slow drip of information in a swirling mystery builds tension as revelations are doled out to maximize impact. The viewer of Evelyn, follows along on a twisted and surreal psychological journey, learning the truth behind the unsettling dreams.
Vfx And Sound design
Visually, “Find Me Falling” is understated but effective with touches of visual effect that improve the dreamlike quality of the film without distracting from the narrative in general. For me the dream sequences really worked though — alongside matching visuals that are now distorting and a general eerie atmosphere, where landscapes seem to shift into one another the closer Evelyn gets to realizing something.
The sound design contributes to the moodiness in quite an important manner as well. Whispers & Morbid Atmosphere Hereditary The echoing whispers and mellowed down voices and a creepy score with Max Richter on the piano really pushes the psychological dread level of the movie. Together with the visuals, these auditory elements serve to plunge the viewer farther down through the labyrinthine recesses of Evelyn’s psyche.
