It digs into some of the difficult conversations of our moment in time with real knifes-edge skill, and because it does so with a couple of surprisingly effective and believable performances at its center from relative newcomers

A lot of good intentions muddled in what would’ve been an award-winning play about 20 years ago.

2.5/4

It's a small film, but though its goals are modest, it hits all of them with confidence. There's a certain feeling of being taken care of that comes with watching a piece that knows what it's about.

Though Old Flame has sharp writing built into cat-and-mouse suspense, the film devolves into a predictable ending.

C-

The film oh-so nearly has the audacity to really push some of the genuinely challenging and unsettling realities around sex, memory and consent from different perspectives.

4/5

Proof positive that all you need to make a film is a compelling narrative and a committed cast, Old Flame is tense and uncomfortable, but at the same time utterly absorbing.

I understand that there are reasons not to like this movie. I hate, thoroughly HATE HATE HATE the trope of "prey becomes predator, it's deserved." I hate it. But I don't think that was going on here. I think Rachel's life has basically been ruined and she just doesn't care anymore. There's valuable insight in this film as to why Rachel is so full of hate, so full of rage, so full of violence. The dialogue, much more important than visuals or anything else in the film, is well-written, and I do hate the idea that someone would see this and think "dude got what he deserved," but I would hope that other watchers are slightly more cognizant of how complex themes work in media. The performances are perfect for this type of film (more play than film, really, but excellently done). Yes, it's uncomfortable. It should be.

The writing and acting are so cringe. Where did these positive reviews come from? It was awful starting with the first second until the very end. One of the laziest movies ever.
