2.5/5

Despite admirable intentions and a willingness to really be about that it purports to be, Firebrand is nonetheless a messy film that frequently undermines its own objective.

The intentions are solid, but the execution falls painfully flat.

2.5/5

The title Firebrand is a bit of a misnomer because you never really see the protagonist unleash any sort of fiery beast from within throughout the film.

1/5

Despite its note-worthy themes, the filmmaking is not just unsubtle but guileless, the performances are too designed and the resolution is pretentious.

3.5/5

Firebrand is as much about awareness as it is about affirmation. The film evolves into a pointed study of two emotionally disturbed women.

3/5

Ardent performances from the leading characters, along with a vivid portrait of modern India as it mirrors America and its sexual politics, make this story of one woman's odyssey very compelling.
