Reception

Falcon Song received mostly positive reviews when it was initially released in 2014. Ernest Hardy of LA Weekly wrote that Falcon Song is "modest, charming, and relatively subversive in the context of contemporary American film."[6] and that the movie is "mercifully free of easy irony".[6]

Sheri Linden of the Los Angeles Times stated that "The Director achieves a desired retro aesthetic"[2] and that "The story's wholesomeness could have tipped into bizarro David Lynch dreamland, but it remains grounded, more or less."[2]

Ethan Stewart of The Santa Barbara Independent wrote that the film is "A tongue-in-cheek celebration of 1980s’ cinema, Jason Brown’s Falcon Song legitimately makes you feel like you have travelled through time. The film goes retro with everything from production techniques and the soundtrack to its storyline…".[7]

In Film Threat's review by Mark Bell, the film is highlighted as "a throwback to a less cynical age of cinema".[8]
