Things We Lost in the Fire Blu-ray
DreamWorks | 2007 | 118 mins | Rated R | Mar 24, 2009
Things We Lost in the Fire(2007)Drama     Audrey Burke is reeling from the shock of the news that has just been delivered to her door by the local police: her warm and loving husband Brian, the father of their two young children, has been killed in a random act of violence. Once anchored by the love and comforts of their 11-year marriage, Audrey is now adrift. Impulsively, she turns to Jerry Sunborne, a down-and-out addict who has been her husband's close friend since childhood. Desperate to fill the painful void caused by her husband's death, Audrey invites Jerry to move into the room adjacent to their garage in the hope that he can help her and her children cope with their sudden loss. Jerry is facing a daily battle to stay off drugs, but in his unexpected role as surrogate parent and friend to Audrey's son and daughter he finds a core of inner resilience. As Jerry and Audrey navigate grief and denial, their fragile bonds are constantly tested. Working together, however, they discover the strength to move forward. For more details about Things We Lost in the Fire on Blu-ray, see the Things We Lost in the Fire Blu-ray Review Things We Lost in the Fire Blu-ray, Video Quality  Things We Lost in the Fire comes to Blu-ray sporting an effective video transfer that does justice to the film’s theatrical exhibition. It’s not a particularly grainy film, though grain is present in a natural and non-excessive manner. Colors are generally vibrant, while the film’s overall color palette seems relegated to darker tones. Contrast is well realized, though black levels can occasionally appear slightly crushed. The best thing about this AVC Mpeg-4 encode, presented in 1080p and preserving the film’s original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1, is in its exceptional rendering of fine detail. Fans of truly film-like presentations will doubtlessly be impressed with this encode; It ranks as a fine example of what can be achieved when excessive noise reduction techniques are not employed for the sake of trying to render a more punchy image. Other digital nasties are also absent; edge enhancement, macroblocking and any otherwise distracting elements are pleasantly missing from the presentation. Ultimately, Things We Lost in the Fire looks exceptional on Blu-ray and is highly recommended. Things We Lost in the Fire Blu-ray, Audio Quality  There’s not much to crow about with the soundtrack for Things We Lost in the Fire. Although presented in 5.1 Dolby TrueHD, the film’s minimal sound design fails to impress. Being a dialogue-driven affair, the track does a fantastic job of delivering the film’s talky ruminations exquisitely and without any loss of fidelity. In this respect, this Blu-ray presentation is a resounding success. In addition, the film’s score is nicely planted in the front soundstage, underscoring the drama in a perfectly mixed and realized manner. Those seeking an abundance of surround activity, however, will be sorely disappointed. Things We Lost in the Fire is so heavily front-loaded, that I barely detected any rear-channel activity, save the occasional ambient flourish. I can hardly fault this Blu-ray release for presenting the film in the manner in which it was intended to be heard, so consider Things We Lost in the Fire to be a successful recreation of a boring- sounding movie.
