There are patches which feel well –observed, especially when they are based in Mumbai's swish spots—pretty people talking about London flats, and well-attired investment bankers in their offices with a view.
Read the full reviewFireflies is a brave effort, natural and languid for most parts. However, it fails to glow through its foreseeable conflicts and layers, and ends up being a statement in craft over storytelling.

Read the full reviewThe well-meaning plot of Fireflies is totally wasted for a singular lack of imagination and the over-dependence on stereotypes .
It looks good. But it doesn't really keep you interested in the goings-on. You couldn't care less about any of the characters. And that's always a bad sign.

How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
