The Blazing World Ratings & Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Monica Castillo
The Blazing World falls short narratively and visually.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Trying to balance campy with clever, it flashes abundant visual flair yet stumbles in realizing its narrative ambitions.
Austin Chronicle
Sarah Jane
Overstuffed and overextended, The Blazing World is buoyed by the soundtrack (especially the songs by Isom Innis and Sean Cimino in their project Peel), and the too brief appearance by the wonderful Soko.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
It's an admirably imaginative piece, although the narrative's ... predictable trickery ultimately get the better of its visual elements.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
There's plenty of imagination on display in The Blazing World, but it's buried amidst the narrative and stylistic self-indulgence that assumes we'll be interested in going on this very strange and ultimately enervating journey.
Should I See It
Michael Ward
(Carlson) Young is a talented storyteller, with a limitless vision that should hopefully fall more into focus as her career behind the camera evolves.

In Review Online
Matt Lynch
A disarmingly charmless and amateurish series of indie genre check-boxes dressed up as something desperate to be described as "like Alice in Wonderland on acid."
The Pitch
Abby Olcese
The Blazing World displays an almost maddening level of talent and creativity. Here's hoping it's the start of something great.
ComingSoon.net
Grant Hermanns
The sharp colors palette of the evil dimension feels very reminiscent of the giallo films it seeks to pay homage to and Young's direction is incredibly stylish.
Daily Dead
Heather Wixson
I enjoyed how Young challenged me as a viewer with her feature film debut, and I look forward to seeing whatever she does next as a filmmaker.
Nightmarish Conjurings
Sarah Musnicky
Carlson Young's visual identity is stunning and she shows immense promise. But the thin narrative in THE BLAZING WORLD will irk some viewers.
Film Threat
Lorry Kikta
I am most impressed by the fact that such a young director was able to make this opus her debut. I'm sure you will be, too, especially if you're a lover of fantasy, horror, or both.
Vanyaland
Nick Johnston
The colorful and surprisingly elegant nature of The Blazing World provoked me in a way that other films of this ilk haven't.
Jezebel
Rich Juzwiak
Some scenes hit better than others, but what Young does with some fog machines and intense lighting makes me salivate for a film in which she gets to play with a real budget. It shouldn't be long now.
The Spool
Gena Radcliffe
It would be great to see her put her artistic focus on a straight, non-fantasy horror movie. She just needs to come up with the plot and the characters first.
Variety
Guy Lodge
"The Blazing World" throws an ornate heap of production design at an anemically scripted psychological metaphor, and counts on a combination of fairy dust and sheer determined nerve to make the whole contraption fly.
RogerEbert.com
Kristy Puchko
To awe with outrageousness is impressive, to also get us to empathize is cinema divine.
Bloody Disgusting
Meagan Navarro
Young's debut is ambitious and refuses to adhere to commercial conformity. It may not hit its emotional marks or substantially reinvent trauma depictions, but it's hard to ever be bored by a film that plays like a whimsical horror-fairy tale on acid.
IndieWire
Kate Erbland
It's an imperfect debut, but it holds thrilling promise for what comes next.
