- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: If at first the film appears to meander, lazing in summer sunshine, its build will surprise with unexpected emotion, its petulant protagonist finding grace.
- Lee Jutton @ Film Inquiry
- Excerpt: Winner of the Silver Bear Grand Jury Prize at this year’s Berlin International Film Festival, Afire (also known as Roter Himmel, or Red Sky in German) follows a quartet of young people at a summer retreat near the Baltic Sea as they butt heads, make love, and create art — all as a massive wildfire rapidly approaches and threatens to destroy everything around them.
- Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: AFIRE is beautifully orchestrated with so many glimpses of joy and laughter from afar as Leon angrily watches, too embarrassed to ask to join and too prideful to admit the errors of his way.
- [New] | Jacob Oller @ Paste Magazine
- Excerpt: Afire is a blackly funny and piercing character study focused on the working vacation of an unpleasant novelist and those he inflicts himself upon.
- Andrew Wyatt @ The Take-Up
