It’s a potent image after all: the characters are on the frontline of a climate emergency. And they’re oblivious, unable to grasp the threat until it’s too late.

Christian Petzold returns with something lighter, funnier and more instantly-lovable than his recent run, bringing regular leading lady Paula Beer along for the ride.

...the careful control displayed throughout Afire allows its deep, elegant characterizations to persist through the narrative smog, long after the rest of the film burns away.

Buoyed by pitch-perfect performances from the cast... the film balances its humor and pathos with a natural ease, ending with a satisfying conclusion. All qualities of any good story.

...the way this film steers into tragedy is wrenching... ...“Afire” draws you in confidently and prepares its knockout emotional punch with scrupulousness and a vivid sense of surprise.

...smoldering tour through the life of the mind...

En smart psykologisk studie med kåta undertoner och en snygg uppvisning i skådespeleri.

Ypperligt om en självupptagen författare.

Det övergripande temat här kan sägas vara människans sköra natur och naturens döende tillvaro.

...en film med ett intressant gäng karaktärer som lyckas få en ganska otrevlig huvudkaraktär både intressant och nyanserad.

...tragikomiskt om skrivkramp i klimatkrisens skugga.

...mer lättsam än den låter ”på pappret”.

Portrættet af forfatterens selvcentrerede lilleverden er sjovt.
