	Author	Review
United States	Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"Astonishingly confident (...) This is a movie that, like its characters, is more fluent in feelings than in words."	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"Mozaffari has an incredible eye for the details that bring a situation or place to life, working with inexperienced actors to create electrifying characters and a sense of edgy unpredictability"	POS
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"A modest but sympathetic drama (...) While it doesn't judge either girl, it also doesn't pretend their options are happy ones"	POS
United States	Katie Walsh Los Angeles Times	"Kurimsky is astounding (...) 'Firecrackers' isn’t just a confident feature debut from Mozaffari, but a daring one"	POS
United States	Tomris Laffly rogerebert.com	"It’s an all too familiar, almost clichéd tale you’ve heard and seen before (...) But Mozaffari gradually makes this particular doomed excursion her own with a distinct style (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
Canada	Samantha Edwards Now Toronto	"[It] beautifully captures the realities of living in rural Canada (...) Both Kurimsky and Evans are magnetic"	POS
