Bethany W Excellent actresses & actors! Storyline resonates with retired, aging people. We recall going through these changes with our parents and realize now we are there...and need to accept it and make plans ahead for various possible scenario's. Movie very well done. A letter written by the star's husband to her when he was in the trenches during WW1...is where the title: Fire In The Dark came from. Well written! Well acted! Inspiring! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/21/25 Full Review Audience Member Poignant and very true commentary on growing old. You must wait until the very end to understand the movie's title Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
