A House on Fire

Divorced well-off woman Montse summons her family to her Costa Brava house in Cadaqués, but despite the now limited connection to her two children, the potential sale of the building, her ex-husband's entry on the scene, and yet-to-be-settled scores, she is determined not to let anything or anybody spoil her weekend.{{Cite web|url=https://www.lavanguardia.com/magazine/20240419/9598866/bcn-film-fest-semana-cine-eduard-fernandez-leticia-dolera-javier-ruiz-caldera.html|website=La Vanguardia|date=19 April 2024|title='Casa en flames', una tragicomedia de la clase alta, estrena la alfombra roja del BCN Film Fest|first=Andrés|last=Guerra}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.elconfidencial.com/cultura/cine/2024-01-30/casa-en-flames-estreno-en-cines-dani-de-la-orden_3820658/|website=El Confidencial|date=30 January 2024|first=Marina|last=Velasco|title='Casa en Flames': fecha de estreno, reparto y cuál es su trama.

Jonathan Holland of ScreenDaily described the film as "a sugar-coated skewering of the hypocrisies of the Catalan bourgeoisie".{{Cite web|website=ScreenDaily|url=https://www.screendaily.com/reviews/a-house-on-fire-review/5192625.article|title=‘A House On Fire’: Review|first=Jonathan|last=Holland|date=22 April 2024}}

Javier Ocaña of Cinemanía rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, describing it as an "elegant family shock therapy" which goes from better to worse in the verdict, otherwise comparing it unfavourably to the similar La casa.{{Cite web|url=https://www.20minutos.es/cinemania/criticas/casa-llamas-critica-estreno-reparto-5524845/|website=Cinemanía|via=20minutos.es|title=Crítica de 'Casa en llamas': las rojas praderas de la infidelidad familiar|date=26 June 2024|first=Javier|last=Ocaña|author-link=Javier Ocaña}}

Ekaitz Ortega of HobbyConsolas gave the film 81 points ('very good') writing that A House on Fire "is a good film with a very theatrical script, full of actors and actresses who know how to take the roles to their own territory".{{Cite web|website=HobbyConsolas|url=https://www.hobbyconsolas.com/reviews/critica-casa-llamas-pelicula-espanola-dani-orden-1392383|title=Crítica de Casa en llamas, notable película que ahonda en la incomprensión familiar|first=Ekaitz|last=Ortega}}

Elsa Fernández-Santos of El País described the film as "a fierce parody, as dark as it is funny" about a Catalan bourgeois mother.{{Cite web|website=El País|date=28 June 2024|first=Elsa|last=Fernández-Santos|url=https://elpais.com/cultura/2024-06-28/casa-en-llamas-oscura-y-divertida-parodia-de-una-familia-de-la-burguesia-catalana.html|title=‘Casa en llamas’: oscura y divertida parodia de una familia de la burguesía catalana}}
