Critic Reviews for Flames

All Critics (8) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (6) | Rotten (2)

  • We've all been there, which is part of what makes this seemingly insular New York artist story so universal, and so affecting.

    Jason Bailey

    Flavorwire

  • Flames, though energetically crafted, erotic, and at times heartfelt, is an exasperatingly esoteric meditation on love.

    April 27, 2017 | Full Review…

    Sam Weisberg

    Village Voice

  • Flames grows tougher, weirder, and more ambiguous, casting much of its early cuteness in a starker light.

    Chuck Bowen

    Slant Magazine

  • With high potential to ruffle with its solipsism, Flames turns out to be cathartic and timely piece of performance art that might be the most representative of our society.

    Elissa Suh

    MUBI

  • Taking a step back: the last half hour saves the film, framing the relationship and the story with narrative distance and objectivity. If you were stuck watching only the first hour it would be infuriatingly pointless.

    Bradley Gibson

    Film Threat

  • A document of its times, Flames works as a brilliant time capsule of the Obama era: we walk in on staged protests of late capitalism as often as lovemaking.
