Leave your thoughts about Salt and Fire.
| Entertainment WeeklyDarren FranichIn Salt and Fire, a bad movie but an intriguing vacation slideshow, Michael Shannon and Veronica Ferres play “characters” (unconvincing, undimensional) and speak “dialogue” (expository, flat). |
| Cinema ScopeRobert KoehlerThe man, so wonderful to listen to in his non-fiction films as he narrates away in his deliciously thick German accent, has a tin ear for English dialogue spoken by actors. |
| The PlaylistOliver LytteltonPerhaps the best that can be said of Salt and Fire is that its flaws are wholly Herzog's. |
| The Film StageEthan VestbySalt and Fire may feel like a joke of sorts, it’s one attuned enough to a genuinely idiosyncratic sensibility to still register enough as a genuine search for something new. |
| ComingSoon.netChris AlexanderDirector Werner Herzog's latest mediation on man vs. nature is a divisive and surreal eco-thriller. |
| indieWireDavid EhrlichSalt and Fire is by no means the most willfully obtuse film that Herzog has ever made — it seems as broad as a blockbuster when compared to the likes of “The Wild Blue Yonder” and “Lessons of Darkness” — but it’s the only one of his works in which his curiosity has completely eclipsed his insight. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleLike something you peer at rather than absorb, Salt and Fire is both awful and a tad fascinating. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA visionary director's creative and challenging look at an ecological disaster. |
| Audiences EverywhereNathanael HoodThough his documentaries remain as vital as any in his career, Salt and Fire signals the further deterioration of Werner Herzog as a narrative filmmaker. |
| FanboyNation.comSean MulvihillEven though it loses steam as it approaches the end, the final scenes of Salt and Fire show Herzog at his most playful and highlight those unique sensibilities that make him unlike any other filmmaker ever. |
