Reviews

Total Film - Unnamed
Rosi offers a simple, stark contrast between quiet moments of everyday life and tragedy as mass fleeing results in sunken boats, horrific injuries and death.
100
Slant Magazine - Clayton Dillard
Fire at Sea initiates a narrative that probes the fundamental gap between wanting to help and actually being able to do so.
100
The Guardian - Peter Bradshaw
Fire at Sea is masterly film-making.
91
IndieWire - Unnamed
Opting for an observational mode that is nevertheless highly stylized, Rosi understands that an urgent frontline missive needn’t be ugly.
90
Screen International - Lee Marshall
[A] powerful, at times shocking but also intensely human documentary.
