Reviews
|
Total Film -
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.
|
|
Slant Magazine -
Fire at Sea initiates a narrative that probes the fundamental gap between wanting to help and actually being able to do so.
|
|
The Guardian -
Fire at Sea is masterly film-making.
|
|
IndieWire -
Opting for an observational mode that is nevertheless highly stylized, Rosi understands that an urgent frontline missive needn’t be ugly.
|
|
Screen International -
[A] powerful, at times shocking but also intensely human documentary.
