Jason Bailey Flavorwire May 3, 2016
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. Go to Full Review David Ehrlich Rolling Stone Feb 25, 2016
2.5/4
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. Go to Full Review Brad Wheeler Globe and Mail Feb 19, 2016
2.5/4
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. Go to Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse Feb 3, 2021
4/5
A flawed but ultimately fascinating look at a delicate topic. Go to Full Review Allen Almachar The MacGuffin Jul 13, 2020

3.5/5
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
