Movie Reviews

Hartford Courant - 8/10 by Malcolm JohnsonThough sometimes predictable, Nicholson's film is sustained by the quality of his writing, especially the musings about the magical powers of firelight, by the almost surreal lake house scenes and by the scoring of Christopher Gunning.
Combustible Celluloid - 6/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonI wish someone would explain to me why all these 19th Century costume dramas need to be so cheerless, so formal, and so godawful boring.
User Review - 10/10 by Missy RThis is a very hard movie to find. I saw it on tv over a year ago and fell head over heels in love with it. It is such a great love story, it made me cry!
User Review - 10/10 by Tina USimply a classic! The plot line was touching and moving and the acting was wonderful.
User Review - 10/10 by Honghui YI thought the movie will be boring all throughout that's why I didn't pay attention at its first 30 minutes...but as I paid attention to the movie, I found it very interesting...Overall, I found the movie very inspirational and good especially the ending where I cried hard.
User Review - 10/10 by Alex OEssential viewing for all period drama fanatics!
User Review - 10/10 by Danny SBeautiful period piece/ Very well acted and directed. I recommend it. Mild Caution: contains some sexuality/nudity, but it is not done to excite audiences, merely to propel the story forward.
User Review - 10/10 by Mis TAll those professional critics that call Firelight "predictable and dull" have completely missed the point. Maybe they should all go take a few film classes. Firelight is pure and simply a masterpiece of the art.
User Review - 10/10 by Muldoon EThis is such a beautiful film, and one i absolutely love! It's quite a sad film and i did shed a tear or few watching it, and always do, at the same parts. It's the type of film that can seep into your heart and never leave. It stays with you for life. It grabs your heart and won't let go. And that's what i love about it. It grabbed my heart 3 years ago now, and still it won't let go. But i don't want it to, because i love this film with all my heart. Elisabeth agrees to have a child with Charles for money, as her family are very poor, and she needs the money. At birth she gives her daughter, Louisa, to her father Charles, which was the deal, never to see her again. But 7 years later Elisabeth has never forgotten Louisa, and tracks her down, becoming her governess, so she can be closer to her. Charles lets her and they don't tell Louisa, who has become a spoiled little brat, that Elisabeth is really her mother. With Elisabeth's help Louisa becomes nicer, well educated and more likeable. Charles and Elisabeth find themselves falling in love and from then on it just gets better and better. The scene where Louisa finds out that Elisabeth is her mother is one of the most heartbreaking parts of the film, as all she's ever wanted is to meet her mother, and Elisabeth finally gets to love her like she's always wanted too. A heartbreaking, beautiful and brilliant film! One everyone could grow to love if they truly gave it a chance!!!
