In Flames Ratings & Reviews
Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)
Mark Kermode
Riveting central performances.
Beyond the Cinerama Dome
Tina Kakadelis
There are some things we must learn to live with, to find a means of existing in spite of things that hurt us. Such is the story of In Flames.
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
stays true to a more restrained approach that suggests more than it shows, often through the unnerving soundtrack and a roving camera whose drifting away from the main action always portends the presence of something frightful
Deep Focus Review
Brian Eggert
The blend of horror and social commentary feels tipped toward the latter, underserving the former. Still, it's nonetheless a powerful examination of women in Pakistan, a critique of its patriarchy, and an immersive look through the eyes of its characters.
In Review Online
Daniel Gorman
It's an uninteresting detour into well-trod genre territory, even if the film's heart is very much in the right place. Still, two-thirds of a good movie is nothing to turn your nose up at.
Next Best Picture
Josh Parham
The horror imagery is effectively creepy and unsettling, but it feels in service of a journey that is aimless and muddled.
Collider
Tania Hussain
Thought-provoking and poignant, In Flames isn't an easy conversation, but it is a necessary one that rests its narrative on the pervasive gaze of patriarchal oppression.
Hey, Have You Seen ...?
Jared Mobarak
That's where IN FLAMES is most potent. The blurred line between morality and self-preservation. If you're trapped in a system that treats you like the enemy, you must resign yourself to the fact that no one else will save you.
What She Said
Anne Brodie
Much is at stake on psychological, economic, emotional and other levels, and an unbearable burden for our heroines. Kahn's mastery of the genre blend and his artistic expression is extraordinary.
New York Times
Alissa Wilkinson
Kahn manages to assemble the story in a way that escapes feeling like a series of object lessons.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
An engrossing, poetic and unnerving psychological thriller.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
Writer/director Zarrar Khan uses techniques borrowed from the horror genre to address the experience of living an environment where one is seen as less than fully human, or even as prey.
Variety
Manuel Betancourt
"In Flames" finely straddles the line between a bold genre exercise and a bruising portrait of contemporary Pakistan to deliver a welcome story about resistance and resilience.
Asian Movie Pulse
Panos Kotzathanasis
"In Flames" has a lot of merits, and it is well-shot and well-acted. The fact that the director was not sure if he wanted to shoot a social drama or a horror film, however, harms the whole thing significantly, as the transition does not make sense.
Awards Daily
Frank J. Avella
Zarrar Kahn's impressive debut feature, In Flames, is a psychological and supernatural thriller/social drama and yet another feature that depicts how the patriarchy, in certain cultures, command complete control over women.
Nuha Hassan (Medium)
Nuha Hassan
With Fariah and Mariam's shared history of nightmares and ghostly apparitions, In Flames is a reminder that the world is cruel to women.
The Movie Blog
Shah Shahid
The story is impeccably written, also by Kahn, and so much of it is unsaid moments of grief, trauma and build-up that lead to such a satisfying reveal and climax.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...the movie benefits substantially from Kahn's steady visuals and a thoroughly striking and impressive central performance by Nawal.
IndieWire
Christian Zilko
It's a seedy ride through a bleak existence that would be entertaining enough to watch with popcorn if it didn't depict a life that's all too real for too many people.
The Hollywood Reporter
Lovia Gyarkye
A haunting tale of oppression.
