Digging for Fire Ratings & Reviews
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
The size of that ensemble and Swanberg's particular way of sorta hazily drifting from one half-overheard conversation to the next gives the picture a Robert Altman vibe that's never really been present in his work before.
Grantland
Wesley Morris
The movie has been dedicated to Paul Mazursky, the great radiologist of American social interplay who died last year. But Swanberg is still murmuring where Mazursky could speechify, gesticulate, and shout, sometimes in the same sequence.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Conversations drift and weave, as do the people having them. Narcissistic melancholy dukes it out with beer-and-pot-stoked merriment. There is longing. There is foolhardiness.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
While you're watching it, "Digging for Fire" may feel slight or tentative, but its cumulative impact is entrancing. Few films about a marital rift make so much of what seems so little.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
While it has its charms, Swanberg is tilling soil here that has been churned since humanity began, and he doesn't come up with very much that's new.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
Digging for Fire fails its title's own promise: It has the capacity for startling insight and artistry, but mostly it's just a toe listlessly pushing dirt around.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
"Digging for Fire" is a pleasant escape - an attractively shot, gracefully edited and, finally, emotionally satisfying mystery about the nature of marriage itself.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
Unfortunately, for as much dialogue as "Digging for Fire" has, the film doesn't go into much depth about Tim and Lee's true feelings about marriage and their lives.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
A happy couple's submerged tensions come to the surface in Joe Swanberg's tender, wildly imaginative comic drama.
TheWrap
Alonso Duralde
With all the pretty, vapid Los Angeles navel-gazers lounging by swimming pools and engaging in pointless (and seemingly endless) conversations, the results feel like a sub-par Henry Jaglom movie, conceived on the quick after a location became available.
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
"Digging for Fire" wants to talk about serious topics and it wants to do so in a humorous light-hearted way. It succeeds.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
The film has an appealing honesty and an enjoyably low-key comic style.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Equal parts film noir, relationship drama, dark comedy and mood piece, Digging for Fire is a movie made by someone who clearly loves the art of movies.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
[Digging for Fire] isn't devoid of observations; it's just that those observations are banal.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
There's a lot under the surface in director Joe Swanberg's "Digging for Fire." The lived-in atmosphere makes the mood right to bring up emotions that the characters - or the audience - may not see coming.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
One of these days, I hope I respond to a Joe Swanberg movie the way some do.
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
Mostly, the film seems like an excuse for Swanberg to provide every actor he knows with a meaningless bit part ...
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Swanberg's scenes from a marriage goes to the tantalizing edge of revelation and leaves us there to filter what we saw through the prism of our own strengths and weaknesses. I'd call that the mark of a true filmmaker.
New York Post
Sara Stewart
Per Swanberg's signature style, the dialogue is largely improvised, the performances loose and funny. This may be his most star-studded cast yet, but the work is as intimate ("mumblecore" is so passé) as ever.
Village Voice
Abbey Bender
Digging for Fire affably drifts by, bolstered by some strong set pieces.
