This sci-fi indie... imagines a near-future dystopia where retrograde and anterograde amnesia afflict humanity... Director Claire Carre and co-writer/producer Charles Spano artfully design five story lines for a tragic take on the loss of self-knowledge. February 15, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

A lovely meditation on identity and the difficulties of personal connection, Embers is a descendent of Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker in both tone and mise en scne. August 5, 2016 | Full Review…

While one wishes Carr, who shares screenplay credit with Charles Spano, might have hung those stirring visuals on more involving plotting, "Embers" nevertheless makes a strong, not to mention timely, impression. August 5, 2016 | Full Review…

It's metaphorical aspects like that, and the striking visuals that delineate the stark contrast between the worlds above and below ground, that make Embers memorable. April 11, 2016 | Full Review…

An elegant, brooding drama with a sprawling international cast, the movie presents its haunting premise with barely any explanation, leaving viewers to steadily make sense of the chaos along with the confused protagonists. April 11, 2016 | Full Review…

Claire Carre's debut feature could be described as a mass-scale Memento, but that thumbnail sketch misses both the pic's impressive conceptual breadth and its numbing dramatic stasis. April 11, 2016 | Full Review…

Claire Carre moves past the concept to populate this story with rich characters and poignant developments that keep you guessing and help you invest in the fate of these characters. February 14, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Embers indicates that even when everything is taken from us, hope, love, and even connection can still flourish. February 5, 2019 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

Embers is interested in exploring what happens when we lose our memory - of ourselves, of our loved ones, essentially of our lives. The result is a deeply contemplative and breathtakingly human film. September 21, 2018 | Full Review…

A beautifully shot film (shot on an Alexa camera), combining a heavy emphasis on close-ups of the actors' faces with wide, textured visuals of the utter chaos and destruction surrounding the survivors. May 26, 2017 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…
