	Media	Author	Review
		Wendy Ide Screendaily	"It’s a deceptively complex and layered work, with its themes of unity versus division (...) Brady is certainly a talent to watch"
		Ryan Lattanzio IndieWire	"A powerful slice of kitchen-sink gloom, and a blazing portrait of women on fire"
		Tomris Laffly Variety	"Brady’s ambition to marry the sociopolitical with the intimately personal doesn’t really lead to a convincing emotional payoff, despite her assured style and two powerhouse performances"
		Monica Castillo rogerebert.com	"Brady’s sympathetic writing and directing bring these two headstrong characters together"
		Andrew Parker The Gate	"What makes 'Wildfire' so surprising is just how well the narrative functions as a metaphor for UK/Northern Ireland relations in the era of Brexit (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] is often striking visually and heady with atmosphere (...) It will stand as a memorial to McGuigan's intense, electric talent"
		Ian Freer Empire	"Sometimes it bites off more than it can chew (...) The thing that stays with you is the complex co-dependent sisterly relationship (...) Despite some missteps, 'Wildfire' is lit (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)""
		Kaleem Aftab Cineuropa	"A story that strives to investigate the lasting psychological impact of bombs, rather than the immediate visceral feelings caused by watching them explode."
