"Accept the good"
An average film with an extraordinary performance by Benicio Del Toro. He has so much talent that he can lift a mediocre film to a higher level. Definitely a Oscar worthy performance.
The biggest problem with this film is that after a good scene, a lesser good scene will follow. The storytelling is slow paced but still interesting. The film is definitely sad but it is not depressing in any way. The two lead characters are coping with their problems and in the end there is hope. A must-see for all Benicio Del Toro fans. -

This movie turned out OK.It was a bit slow to get going and they drug out the dramatics at the beginning a little but once they finally got into the story it kept me interested enough to not turn it off.I didn't care much for the open ending though.

Del Toro gives an excellent performance in this film. His performance makes the average storyline better. Overall this is an interesting film about loss and addiction.

Surprisingly a really good movie. I usually avoid anything with Halle Berry but she was excellent in it. Benicio Del Toro's performance was brilliant however. All in all it was a really heartwarming and at times humorous movie.

This movie proved two things. First, Benicio Del Toro is a beast. He's a fucking actor. Two, sometimes Halle Berry takes it a step further than she needs to, but because she has star power, directors let her get away with it. Still, good movie.

Brilliant performance by Benicio Del Toro as an ex-attorney who becomes a heroin addict. David Duchovny portrays his friend who never turns his back on him.
After Duchovny's death in a random act of violence, Jerry(Benicio Del Toro) becomes close with his friend's wife Audrey played by Halle Berry. Jerry fights his addiction which has destroyed everything that was once important to him as Audrey finds Jerry to be the only person who can help her survive her loss. Her children and Jerry form a bond which keeps him on the level most of the time.
When things seem to be at their worst, the fight in each of these characters struggles to rise above the deepest fog and gloom. -

The performances in this drama film are amazing. As a heroin addict who spirals downwards, recovers, relapses and finally seems on the road to more lasting recovery, Benicio Del Toro is mesmerising. As the inconsolable Audrey, Halle Berry is the best she has ever been - nothing but credible. Together, they're magic!

MCT:August 19, 2008I can't believe that I waited so long to watch this one. It sat on my shelf for weeks before I dusted it off. Del Toro was magnificent in this this; as was Berry and the kids. It is a story of tremendous loss and lfriendship. I loved the way that it was portrayed as being so very real. It may make you think about what you would do in a similar situation. Some broken things cannot be mended, but somethings can be partially replaced. This is not a feel good movie, but it is certainly a movie that will make you feel plenty.

MCT:August 14, 2008Things We Lost In The Fire is a movie that bases most of it's entertainment off of the incredible talent of the actors. While I do prefer a movie with a little more action I could still see the inspiration in this movie and how it could really be emotional for someone who could relate to it. The film is very symbolic and easy to analyze if you're in a thinking mood. The movie showed how losing one life allowed another to be saved and even in the darkest of moments people are able to find light.

Things We Lost in the Fire was a really good movie and the drug thing was crazy. I believe that her husband shouldn't have died. He should of called the cops and jumped in his car to go home. But it was a nice movie and i could watch it again.

Moving psychodrama about dealing with loss and finding hope , with outstanding performances by Berry and Del Toro

Very sad movie, definitely not one to watch if you feel like anything upbeat. Very slow, but quite emotional.

Why wasn't it you, Jerry? Why wasn't it you?"
I was expecting a decent movie before watching this but it turned out being and outstanding movie, an interesting story that showed the depths of what drugs can take people too, some terrific acting especially from BDT i just find him very enjoyable to watch because he carries a great deal of realism while also having some hilarious mannerisms, quite informative and eye opening at times. I was left feeling very calm after watching it too which I am not sure if that was the desired effect from the director but that was how it effected me and i loved it, a genuinely honest and enjoyable movie. :) -

I highly recommend this movie. It spans all the emotions...love, hate, anger, joy despair, frustration, unbearable grief. An outstanding performance by Benicio Del Toro. Halle Berry shines also....

all actors are a good watch, halle bery in a emotional role, and benicio del toro, also, a film about grief and a frienship that grows from that, english language debut from susanne bier, director of the exellent after the wedding

Muy buenas actuaciones tanto de Halle Berry como de Benicio del Toro.
Recomendable aunque muy tradicional drama. -

Another fantastic acting from Del Toro for the heroin addict role he seems to have in his innerself by now.
The script is very well written, focusing on the strong bond between the family and Jerry Sunborne.
Helped by a marvellous musical score, It will surely be recognized for being one of the best dramas we've had in 2007. -
MCT:July 16, 2008
The movie was okay nothing out of the ordinary seeking redemtion and change movie. Once again halley berry wasn't really good. Del toro was really good.

A really wonderful drama with the great Halle Berry. I liked that the flashback sequences seamlessly blended with the rest of the film.
-
MCT:July 8, 2008This movie gets a little better towards the end, but for the most part is rather dull. I think that's why they tried all the time jump editing to spice it up a little, but it was just annoying.
-
MCT:July 5, 2008I'd be more interested in this if the lead actress was someone who could actually, oh, ACT or something

MCT:June 27, 2008
Anyway who has ever grieved for the someone they loved can surely relate to this film. The relationship between Audrey and Jerry feels so real - that's the result of an awesome work by Halle and Benicio. It's as realistic as any film can be on grieving and recovering from an addiction. Towards the middle, the rythm of how things unfold isn't necessarily ideal, but the beninning and the end make it balanced. Totally worth it.

Its like hitting a low F-key over and over again on the piano for two hours. Certainly, the intensity will vary every once and a while and your interest will peak slightly, but you're still hitting the same damn F-key when 87 other keys are available at your disposal.

I highly recommend this movie. It spans all the emotions...love, hate, anger, joy despair, frustration, unbearable grief. An outstanding performance by Benicio Del Toro. Halle Berry shines also, but felt Benicio as "Jerry" gives an outstanding performance. One of the best drama's I have seen in sometime without excessive swearing, shooting scenes, ect.

I enjoy a good drama film but this one was like watching a soap opera episode even Lifetime channel shows more interesting films.Not only the film is boring but the characters in different scenarios seems to me so disconnected from reality perhaps these characters look fake.I wasn't feeling the performances & dialog just Benicio Del Toro was the only one that stands out from the cast once he gets that overdose as a junkie & get fixed during few scenes in the film.
