Written, directed, edited, scored, and partially lived by bipolar filmmaker Paul Dalio, this intense romantic drama solely exists to prove that his so-called "disorder" isn't a dehumanizing defect. Feb 25, 2016 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Dalio's script doesn't always flow as smoothly as the camera work, but an air of calm authenticity should leave audiences touched, in a good way. Feb 19, 2016 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Dalio, who based the film (his directing debut) on his own struggles with bipolar disorder, establishes a gentle, honest tone that never wavers - and demonstrates a knack for vivid imagery that makes him a filmmaker to watch. Feb 18, 2016 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Anchored by outstanding performances by Holmes and Kirby, "Touched With Fire" is a unique love story that doesn't dismiss manic depression so much as it is used to enhance the story. Apr 4, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

There's no reason a film can't stay cinematically interesting while still reflecting the internal repression of its characters and, unfortunately, coupled with the staged nature of the later dialogue, the sober segments of the story don't quite hit home. Feb 21, 2019 | Rating: 6.5/10 | Full Review…
