Rating: 3.5/4 --
The film is a triumph of style. It is quiet and indicative. It doesn't explain a lot, but we understand a lot about it all the same.

It's hard not to feel impatient with the self-absorbed hero, but his ravaged face ends by arousing pity and even a pinch of awe.

To be frank, Fire Within devastated me when I saw it in college, but the unrelieved ennui that struck me as scrupulously honest and brave then looks one-note and aimless to me now.

Highly introspective, often tenderly touching and sometimes tediously redundant.
