Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Things We Lost in the Fire veers away from the real and hard and toward the fantastic.
– Stephen Hunter,
Washington Post,

fresh:
The movie is an engrossing melodrama, and it has its heart in the right place.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,

fresh:
It's very strong.

fresh:
Berry gives a riveting performance, but as a deeply decent man trapped in a hell of his own making, Del Toro gives the kind of career performance Berry gave in Monster's Ball.
– Jack Mathews,
New York Daily News,

rotten:
Things We Lost in the Fire is certainly not a comedy, but it is definitely mordant with its two Big Themes: Loss and Addiction, both treated in a singularly heavy-handed manner, for which I blame primarily Mr. Loeb's screenplay.
