What critics compared Things We Lost in the Fire to
Susanne Bier has a strong background in dramatic films, “Things We Lost in the Fire” and “In a Better World,” among others.
Early scenes are tense, but "Bird Box" soon falls apart as director Susanne Bier ("Things We Lost in the Fire") can't sustain an air of tension or believability.
More celebrated for the nimble early pictures she directed in her native Denmark (“After the Wedding,” “Brothers”) than for her rickety forays into Hollywood melodrama (“Things We Lost in the Fire,” “Serena”), Bier plunges herself into mainstream horror filmmaking with a gusto that doesn’t always offset her lack of precision.
