Home Fires

Home Fires is a story of memories. Painful, traumatic, heart-wrenching memories.

Through the recollections of a World War 1 veteran, director Weeks sensitively speaks to some of the horrors experienced by those fighting for their country, and just as importantly, the lasting negative impact that imbues their lives and those around them.

With a strong score and very high production values, this is a poignant, evocative movie that demands its viewers journey and empathise with its characters.

Ultimately, it is Weeks' attention to detail and tactful, intelligent approach to the storyline that shines throughout, resulting in a directorial debut of considerable quality.
