Movie Reviews

Financial Times - 10/10 by Nigel AndrewsIt's an amazing film. Life and death; mundanity and mortality; growing up and growing old; family and country; conflict and concord. Each is made more vivid, more complex, more intricately human, by its interaction with the other.
The New York Times - 10/10 by A.O. ScottFire at Sea occupies your consciousness like a nightmare, and yet somehow you don’t want it to end.
Los Angeles Times - 10/10 by Kenneth TuranWhat Fire at Sea appears to be and what it is are not the same thing, and it's that difference that makes it a masterful documentary.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 10/10 by Mark MedleyThe movie’s moral centre, is the island’s doctor, who in one of the film’s most powerful moments reflects on all the autopsies he’s performed. “It’s the duty of every human being to help these people,” he says. That’s about as close as director Gianfranco Rosi gets to a political message.
Slant Magazine - 10/10 by Clayton DillardFire at Sea initiates a narrative that probes the fundamental gap between wanting to help and actually being able to do so.
Total Film - 10/10 by Matt LookerRosi offers a simple, stark contrast between quiet moments of everyday life and tragedy as mass fleeing results in sunken boats, horrific injuries and death.
Chilango.com - 10/10 by Hugo JuárezA current, unmissable and noisy film, not because of what you will hear, but because of its outrageous repercussions, that maybe someday they will reach the right ears. [Full review in Spanish]
Excelsior - 10/10 by Lucero SolórzanoA film that manages to establish a dichotomy between the peaceful life of the inhabitants of Lampedusa, and the tragedy of whole families who desperately seek a better life. [Full review in Spanish]
San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by David LewisWe feel the bewilderment of the parochial yet decent residents, the helplessness of the well-intentioned yet overwhelmed rescuers, and the anguish and disorientation of the refugees.
Film Comment Magazine - 10/10 by Stuart KlawansConstructed as much as reported, Fire at Sea is a beautiful artifact presented for your contemplation. It is also an act of conscience. And it is harrowing.
