But [Brimstone & Glory] deftly captures the skill, passion and peril behind the fireworks, as well as the love of a family whose livelihood is rooted in this booming trade.

Glenn Kenny

RogerEbert.com

A movie that repays being seen on a big reflective screen, one on which the image is projected rather than one from which the image emanates.

Rated: 3/4
