Critics Consensus

Windfall is hardly a bounty of cinematic riches, but a killer cast keeps this minimalistic thriller from going creatively bankrupt.

3/5

Short, sharp and mostly satisfying, this is a thriller that sticks to the stripped-back fundamentals of the genre — no more, no less.

It should be commended, however, for making its flawless setting as claustrophobic for us as it is for the three characters.

2.5/4

Theres at least one great performance in here, and the whole venture clocks in at a blissfully brief 90 minutes or so.

...a solid, noir-tinged piece of work.

Windfall is the product of what COVID brought to the ever-changing world of film.

Although Windfall's efforts to not be “more of the same” is what makes it entertaining, the fact that the movie ends with a forced climax that's typical of the genre that it tried so hard to undermine is even more frustrating. [Full review in Spanish]

Not a bad idea. Kinda compelling. But the music was so awful. It irritated me throughout. Music is supposed to blend. It really hurt the final product.

Thought tiresome and drawn out, the magnificent appeal dragged it far enough but eventually, the potential had also been dragged out by then.

Looked interesting. The movie could been better rated, but the unexpected ending without any explanation at all had a negative impact

Disappointing waste of time. Should have been marketed as an urban comedy. But unrealistic, insipid, and uninspiring. I felt nothing for these characters other than actors acting rote and tired. Poor excuse for a paycheck. Don’t waste your time. You would have more fun removing the mildew from your shower walls!!
