Natalia Winkelman New York Times Oct 20, 2022
This true story’s themes of domestic violence, traumatic injury and addiction are unpacked in the straightforward documentary “The Fire That Took Her.” Go to Full Review
Drew Tinnin Dread Central Feb 17, 2024
It would be a disservice to Judy and her family to warn viewers about just how graphic some scenes are in The Fire That Took Her. That’s the point. Facing that pain is just one small way that we, the audience, can pay our respects. Go to Full Review
Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) Feb 13, 2024
Although she was murdered, Malinowski’s story is not that of a victim, but of a woman who fought for justice — not just towards the man who murdered her, but also unfair laws in the state of Ohio — until the bitter end. Go to Full Review
Erik Childress Movie Madness Podcast May 29, 2023
3.5/4
A genuinely harrowing but also hopeful true crime tale that is a cautionary tale both of domestic abuse as well as the opioid crisis that reminds us how much women's voices matter and that justice occasionally shines through the darkness. Go to Full Review
Steven Prokopy Third Coast Review May 25, 2023
3.5/4
The Fire That Took Her is a tough but necessary viewing experience that is meant to both enrage and inspire those watching, and it does both with unblinking courage on both sides of the camera. Go to Full Review
Jared Mobarak The Film Stage Oct 18, 2022
B
While it would be easy to dismiss the package in which these interviews and recordings arrive as conventional, the subject matter can't help but elevate the material beyond our objectivity too. Go to Full Review
