SPARKS & EMBERS

Cinemavixion Review

In 'Sparks & Embers', director Gavin Boyter crafts a charming, albeit brief, romantic encounter. The narrative centers on Tom and Eloise, whose initial meeting under duress—Eloise having just orchestrated Tom's dismissal—sets a surprisingly tender stage for burgeoning affection. Despite their inauspicious start, 'sparks fly,' leading to a relationship that, five years later, has reached its apparent end. As Eloise prepares to return to France, Tom is presented with a mere 45 minutes to rekindle their lost flame. Starring Kris Marshall and Annelise Hesme, the film offers a glimpse into second chances and the enduring power of connection, all within a ticking clock scenario.
