Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter Mar 18, 2020
The alternately funny and poignant character-revealing dialogue flows naturally in the expert hands of Harris and Huebel, who leaven their comedic performances with strong layers of pathos. Go to Full Review

3/5
Rachel Harris shines in International Falls, a flawed comedy that, at the very least, doesn’t squander the big moment when the time comes. Go to Full Review

3.5/4.0
With intelligence and insight and more than a little dark humor, Amber McGinnis has directed a winner. Go to Full Review

"International Falls" is lovely and insightful, dismal and austere, and tiptoes the line between comedy and tragedy. Go to Full Review
Jessica Baxter Hammer to Nail Apr 10, 2020
The best comedy (and indeed, most art) tends to come from a place of deep, unrelenting pain. Go to Full Review

9/10
Unlike its male protagonist, who seems to remain immune to the town's charms, you will surely not want to leave International Falls. Go to Full Review

Kevin L @Lakeman Oct 3, 2026 Wonderful film. Strong work by director McGinnis & writer Ward. The film ends with the same feel/tone it began with; a really cohesive sense. The story line is straight forward enough, with the chosen details being very relatable for those in long-term relationships; the struggles w/ the sense of obligation, guilt, betrayal, and remorse. The dialogue feels so authentic & grounded. There's no reaching for some grand epiphany or comment on humanity. This is the story of two people whose marriages have reached fragile, or even unreconcilable states. Impressive performances from Harris & Huebel in the lead roles. I liked both of them as characters. There was no real phoniness about them. Dee is an esp. great character, & Harris plays it nearly note perfect. Was not crazy about the ending. Seemed like an unnecessary attempt at some big statement, but it's the only thing that rang a bit false for me. 3.7 stars See more Mastur N @RT89353388 Aug 21, 2026 Great synergy between main actors Good runtime to squeeze it in to a busy day Writing/jokes got a lot better toward the end(intentionally) Well worth the watch See more Jeff R @JRandall37 Apr 19, 2026 Sad parts, funny parts, life. I thought it was a pretty good movie. See more Lee C @RT31897195 Feb 18, 2023 Although the fake Minnesota accents can be distracting at times, this little movie is funny, poignant, and about very believable characters. See more douglas p @bigsky59422 Jan 15, 2023 Twice I tried to get through this movie, I wanted to watch but it is sooo boring. See more Anita F @Grammy3X Sep 11, 2022 Terrible movie. I couldn't finish it. Rotten Tomatoes is wrong on this one. 💯 really? See more Read all reviews
