A House on Fire

A House on Fire (Catalan: Casa en flames) is a 2024 comedy drama film directed by Dani de la Orden and written by Eduard Sola which stars Emma Vilarasau, Enric Auquer, Maria Rodríguez Soto, Alberto San Juan, Clara Segura, José Pérez-Ocaña, and Macarena García.

Divorced well-off woman Montse summons her family to her Costa Brava house in Cadaqués, but despite the now limited connection to her two children, the potential sale of the building, her ex-husband's entry on the scene, and yet-to-be-settled scores, she is determined not to let anything or anybody spoil her weekend.

[6] Beatriz Martínez of Fotogramas rated the film 4 out of 5 stars, deeming it to be Dani de la Orden's best, while highlighting "a perfectly staged cast" as the best thing about it.

[12] Javier Ocaña of Cinemanía rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, describing it as an "elegant family shock therapy" which goes from better to worse in the verdict, otherwise comparing it unfavourably to the similar La casa.

[14] Elsa Fernández-Santos of El País described the film as "a fierce parody, as dark as it is funny" about a Catalan bourgeois mother.
