Cast

Reception Adrian Mack of The Georgia Straight lauded the lead's performance: "If the film suffers from some uneven performances, Nick Ferrucci hits every right note as Elder Smith, especially when he uses compassion and humour to leverage a human response out of his starchier and more nervous companion." Henry Tucker of Blueprint Review rated it 4/5 stars and praised the filmmaker: "Director and writer (and producer) Jon García is definitely one with talent." Richard Propes of The Independent Critic applauded the film as well: "While it won't be for everyone, The Falls is a terrific film for those who embrace independent thought, spiritual seeking and cinematic transcendence."

Sequels The Falls Trilogy consists of two subsequent sequels: The Falls: Testament of Love (2013) and The Falls: Covenant of Grace (2016).
