Here's a wonderful and thoughtful review of CRESTFALLEN from Film Snobbery.

"The film has the vague impression of being someone’s terrible, fevered nightmare – a collection of related, stream of consciousness images and a fatalistic march toward an act of self-harm that the waking part of your mind can’t stop. The dreamlike quality of the film reminds one of Maya Derren’s Meshes of the Afternoon..."

I'm humbled by the comparison to the great Maya Deren, and take seriously the note in her final paragraph about women in danger at the end of each film...and CRESTFALLEN offering a window out.  I am just finishing up a new film called THE DAYS GOD SLEPT which hopefully features an even more active female protagonist choosing a way to move beyond victimization.  It's a great (and provocative) note Bethany Lewis hits in her review, and I'm grateful to hear it.  Good reviews are like opening doors for the viewer, and sometimes for the filmmaker as well.  Thanks again, Bethany, for providing your insights.
