Embers tells the story of those who, a decade after a global epidemic, remain and suffer from lasting effects of the virus - retrograde and anterograde amnesia.
Embers received wide critical acclaim including positive reviews in The Hollywood Reporter, Los Angeles Times, and L.A.
[1] Eric Kohn of IndieWire dubbed Embers, "the best science fiction discovery of the year,"[2] and Don Simpson writing for Smells Like Screen Spirit called Embers, "one of the most memorable independent science fiction films in the last decade.”[3] Sight & Sound's Anton Bitel lauded the direction, saying, "Carré weaves from her ensemble amnesi-apocalypse a reflection of the human condition as philosophically compelling as it is emotionally intelligent.
"[4] The Italian film journal Cine Lapsus described the film as, "Beckett absurdly suspended halfway between Memento and City Lights.”[5] Variety criticized Embers, saying it "could be described as a mass-scale Memento, but that thumbnail sketch misses both the pic's impressive conceptual breadth and its numbing dramatic stasis.
