Editorial Reviews

London is rocked by a shocking terrorist bombing in this dramatic thriller starring Michelle Williams (Wendy and Lucy, Brokeback Mountain) and Ewan McGregor, (Trainspotting, the Star Wars trilogy). Williams delivers a riveting and heart-felt performance as a young wife and mother who suffers a devastating loss in the attack...which occurs while she's meeting her secret lover (McGregor). Wracked with guilt and trying to piece her shattered life back together, she becomes embroiled in the police investigation of the attack - and discovers that the authorities will do anything to cover up the terrifying truth behind it.

Michelle Williams Acts Out Edvard Munch's "The Scream"

Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2020

Verified Purchase

Spoiler alert: Unhappy wife Michelle Williams screws a neighbor while hubby and adorable/adored toddler son are blown up by a suicide bomber in a London stadium. She wanders through the rest of the film with her "The Scream" face on, carrying her son's stuffed rabbit. Finally comes redemption: She is pregnant and a replacement son is born. I could not help but wonder if some profound meaning escaped me. A satire of terrorism? A parody of Jesus's birth? Yikes!

I didn't know what to expect going into the movie and I'm glad I didn't have any expectations (except maybe that I always want Macfadyen to end up with the girl). It did not disappoint. Watch with an open mind.

Worth watching if you're a fan of Matthew Macfadyen

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2020

Verified Purchase

I only recently 'discovered' Matthew Macfadyen and have been watching as many of his roles as I can find. I knew nothing about the book ( but would like to read it now), and only a little about what the movie was supposed to be about. Seeing that Ewan McGregor was in it was another enticement. I thought Michelle Williams did a fine job with her role of a distraught mother. Grief can do strange things to a person, so I didn't find it odd that she befriended the bomber's son. Matthew's character, Terrance Butcher, was endearing in how he wanted so badly to be with her, but on the other hand, he was deadly serious when dealing with terrorists or Ewan's character Jasper.

I don't understand the recent poor reviews, I thought it was a very good movie and Michelle Williams character was amazing. I felt her acting range from an empty housewife and mother to a mother trying with everything she has to come to terms with the devastation in her life was pretty amazing. Accents aside, I feel she was remarkable. When she started narrating her letter to 'Osama" it was real and decent vs. a letter of hate - which is what you would expect someone in her shoes to feel. I loved it. I don't understand why it is showing as a 2019 movie here on Amazon, but 2008 everywhere else.

Excellent controversial film - superb blu ray

Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2009

Verified Purchase

INCENDIARY is not being treated well by critics and I don't really understand why. They seem to keep talking aboutr what the film could be rather than what it is. And what it is is a film that is intense, difficult to watch and emotionally raw. But it is an excellent film. The story takes place in London and we are introduced to Michelle Williams. She is a wife and mother. She has an adorable son who she adores and a husband with whom she tries to deal but who seems to be emotionally empty. The one interesting thing here that is bizarre is that Michelle's character has no actual name. Even in the credits she is listed as YOUNG MOTHER. What purpose this serves I don't really know but I must admit I didn't really notice it when viewing the film.

Our story develops. This young woman goes out to the bar occasionally at night and has the neighbor watch her child. It is here she meets and sleeps with Ewan McGregor. They start a sexual relationship and one weekend her husband takes the son to a soccer game. This same day Michelle has sex with Ewan and the game is on during it. There is a terrorist attack on the stadium and bombs explode. The mother sees this on tv while being in the vulnerable sexual position. She knows that her husband and son are at the game. It is at this point that her world falls apart. She goes to the stadium to try and find them and encounters hell on earth.

Critics seem to feel more should have been explained about the terrorism aspect but the fact that the country is a constant victim of these suicide bombers is a reality. This film is about the emotional impact all this has on the young wife/mother played by Michelle Williams. There is a lot of voiceover where she tells part of the story and the rest is pure emotion. Michelle Williams owns this films and displays 100% the acting chops that she possesses. She becomes this woman so completely that every plot line and everything that happens to her is heartwrenchingly believable. She falls apart, builds herself up for yet more downfalls. Ewan Mcgregor and Matthew MacFayden provide excellent support here but this is truly Ms. Williams fim.

The journey she takes you on is spellbinding and any loose plot lines that may exist become nonexistent as you experience them with her. Imagaine the pain and emotion involved with facing your worst fears and that is the ride Michelle Williams takes you on. I fould the blu ray presentation to be glorious. The 1080p video is electric and crisp with vibrant color and excellent flesh tones. Blacks and whites blend for awesome contrast. The audio is excellent. It is a dialogue driven film but there are some strong audio moments like the stadium explosion and these scenes are bewidering to view.

I highly recommend this film and blu ray. It is disturbing subject matter but tells an important tale on the effects terrorism can have on an average person. And you will also get a tour de force performance by Michelle Williams. She is proving to be one of our best actresses and this performance and film are not to be missed.

Michelle Williams is excellent!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 10, 2012

Verified Purchase

2008's 'Incendiary' is one of the better British films that I've seen in recent years. It is the story of a beautiful young mother (played by Michelle Williams) who has an affair with a journalist (played by Ewan McGregor) and suddenly, her whole life is torn apart when her husband and young son are killed in a suicide bombing at a soccer match. With her life now turned upside down, broken and alone, she tries to deal with her terrible loss and sets out to search for the truth. Things become even more complicated for her when she becomes involved with Terrance (Matthew MacFadyen), the policeman in charge of the bombing investigation.

As you can probably expect from the synopsis of which I have provided above, it is a very emotional film, and the beautiful Michelle Williams turns out a brilliant performance.

Despite the negative reviews it received upon it's release, 'Incendiary' is definitely worth watching as far as I'm concerned, and really, it is Michelle's acting which is almost reason enough to do so.

The DVD contains bonus interviews with actors Ewan McGregor, Michelle Williams, and Matthew MacFadyen separately, along with the producers Anand Tucker and Andy Paterson, and the film's director Sharon Maguire.

Awesome and Impactive film

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 15, 2009

Verified Purchase

Couldn't disagree more with some of the poor reviews on here regarding this film. Being a student of film and an avid film enthusiast, I thought it was fantastic and a complete success for British film. The acting was flawless, it was gritty, real, sad, frightening, and uplifting. Rarely does a film combine so many genres so effortlessly. If you are a parent, make sure you have tissues at the ready. I love the fact that it isn't so completely structured, like life itself, but that it builds slowly in drama, reaching a truly unforgettable finale. See it!

A gripping storyline and great performances from Michelle Williams and Ewan McGregor. The emotional journey of the young mother through the events of the film is very compelling. A must watch if you like a good character drama.
