POSITIVE

- Right from the opening Adesua is gripping and great chemistry with Kunle

- Her performance in Falling earned her the 2016 Africa Magic Viewers Choice Award for Best Actress In A Drama

- The acting scene with Desmond as director is hilarious

- Brilliant emotional scene where Adesua bursts out at hospital scene on Valentine’s day

- Well crafted premise, dealing with really difficult issues.

- They got into the meat of the story early

- At least a good hospital scene

- Love the relationship between Mona and the dad.

- Very good plotline and story structure.

- Blossom was really charming, suited him well. His overall acting was impressive.

- Credit to Oyekunle Remi as the husband

NEGATIVE

- Lighting felt off in few places

- Audio levels inconsistent

- The crying at the beginning was a bit much

- The house in the establishing shot, was that the hospital?

- 1 month is not a prolonged coma, research please! 2-4 weeks is usual so prolonged has to be kinder than that.

- What is it with TVs playing in films? It is terribly distracting, everything in the grand should further the story, if it isn't then it is easier weakening it.

- Ok the falling was a bit fast, yes there has been passing of time but not sufficient build up to the relationship

- They had more time to explore the story better
