Stumble and Fall

About This Movie

Stumble and Fall is one of those little gems that drifts under the radar. The film captures the gritty life of Arthur and Ellie, two small-time crooks who manage to paint their world with a strange sort of charm. The pacing feels almost languid, which gives you room to soak in their misadventures, and the atmosphere has this raw edge that really lends itself to the story. The performances feel authentic, almost like you're watching real friends navigate their flawed lives. It’s definitely not flashy; the practical effects are minimal, but they serve the narrative well. The themes of friendship and desperation hang over everything, with a tone that oscillates between humor and bleakness. It’s a unique take on crime that lingers in your mind after the credits roll.
