Riddle of Fire

IN A NUTSHELL: The movie asks on screen, "Are you a knight or a squire? Can you solve the riddle of fire?" The story is about three mischievous kids who have crazy adventures when their mother sends them on an errand. The low-budget film was directed by young Weston Razooli, who also wrote it, and has a small role in the film as Marty Hollyhock. This is Razooli's directorial debut. Already, the film has won 6 awards at various film festivals, including "Best Picture". Congratulations to him and his team! THINGS I LIKED: The kids are all adorable, but their characters are complete hooligans. They're played by Charlie Stover, Phoebe Ferro, Skyler Peters, and Lorelei Olivia Mote. While the filmmaking and writing are very amateurish, the movie still has an undeniable charm that whisks you away to your own childhood adventures and fantasies. The only cast member I had seen in anything before was Lio Tipton in Vengeance. I love her look. For the first several minutes, we don't hear any dialogue at all, which adds to the whimsical nature of the opening. The movie truly captures the magic of childhood adventures that I went on myself. At 33 minutes, we see the first magic. It's never quite explained, yet none of the characters are skeptical of it. You WILL crave blueberry pie after watching this movie. THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE: What was the riddle? What was the fire? Based on the font of the text at the beginning of the movie, I assumed the story would take place in Ireland, so I was surprised to learn that the setting is in Wyoming, USA. As it turns out, it was filmed in Utah. It was strange to cast a young kid whose line delivery is so bad that subtitles have to be shown. The writing definitely has some holes. For example, the kids go up into the mountains where one of them points out that they can't call their mom because there isn't any cell phone reception, but later, they're able to look up information about a car for sale to steal it. What is a car doing up in the middle of nowhere with a for sale sign on it anyway? In the dance, a random blue who looks like a mermaid suddenly appears. What the what? All that so they could play a video game? TIPS FOR PARENTS: Children break into a warehouse and steal items. Later, they steal a bunch of other things. Young kids swear a LOT, including an unexpected F-bomb. A young boy drinks alcohol and gets drunk. The children get in a lot of trouble and with their potty mouths, are terrible role models for other kids.

i dont like this 。however, spinning too listlessly to the script’s mazy ruts. But there is an uncommon, finely struck sweetness to this film that keeps it from tumbling down mean, unsavory paths.
