Mozaffari has delivered a film bold, bittersweet, beautiful, and undeniably brilliant. That she's down this fresh out the gate is even more remarkable.

Mozaffari has an incredible eye for the details that bring a situation or place to life, working with inexperienced actors to create electrifying characters and a sense of edgy unpredictability.

[Firecrackers] sizzles with the promise of a confident voice behind the camera.

An exciting debut feature, brimming with visceral energy that never allows its characters to take the easy way out.

It does tread familiar territory, but it manages to freshen it in a really exhilarating way.

Hubby and Wife date afternoon theatre provides a well developed and strong finishing 'Firecrackers'. It's well done and it works and it's short and it's simple. Jasmin Mozaffari extends her short film into a feature length feature and Michaela Kurimsky and Karena Evans use a fantastic chemistry to tell a slow burn tale that is a tidy coming of age drama. Believable and authentic, Mozaffari does a great job fleshing out his two main characters so we eventually can root for them. Give this one a chance! Hubby: 7.7/Wife: 7.1 Average: 7.3/10

I didn't think that it lived up to the description. I never saw the night of vandalism, and the supporting cast was weak !!!
