The Irish TimesTara BradyMay 23, 2024
The many textures and mysteries don’t always fit together. Indeed, the movie is better when it trades in real-world patriarchal controls and abuses rather than things that go bump in the night. But this remarkable debut feature will keep you hooked until the final reveal. Read full review

Thought-provoking and poignant, In Flames isn’t an easy conversation, but it is a necessary one that rests its narrative on the pervasive gaze of patriarchal oppression. Read full review

As a supernatural chiller, In Flames finds itself undermined by its own everyday horrors. Read full review
