Critic Reviews for Touched With Fire

All Critics (52) | Top Critics (23) | Fresh (35) | Rotten (17)

  • Writer/director Dalio is the real deal - he's got a great eye and ear, and a way with visceral moments of abstract sound and imagery that place the viewer in his characters' headspace.

    May 3, 2016 | Full Review…

    Jason Bailey

    Flavorwire

  • 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.

    February 25, 2016 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

    David Ehrlich

    Rolling Stone

  • 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.

    February 19, 2016 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

    Brad Wheeler

    Globe and Mail

  • "Touched With Fire" is effective in showing the intensity of a new relationship and the barriers people build up around themselves when they take on an us-against-the-world mentality.

    February 19, 2016 | Rating: B | Full Review…

    Adam Graham

    Detroit News

  • "Touched With Fire" raises multiple topics of discussion, then avoids eye contact when it's time for the actual conversation.

    February 18, 2016 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

    Peter Hartlaub

    San Francisco Chronicle

  • 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.
