Substance of Fire has very little substance or fire. Hutton continued the downward movement of his career while Sarah Jessica Parker hadn't quite gotten the uplift in hers.

Some nice performances help cut through the gooey histrionics to make the film somewhat worthwhile.

The Substance of Fire is a decent film. It is about a publishing magnate who refuses to publish a book by his son's male lover so the kids buy out their father and run it themselves! Tony Goldwyn and Timmy Hutton give good performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Daniel J. Sullivan did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the drama.

Impeccable and riveting. Jon Robin Baitz is a phenomenal writer. Wonderful performances and direction.

This film is very well acted, beautifully written and riveting to watch. Ron Rifkin is superb as Isaac Geldhart and Timothy Hutton will break your heart with his subtle performance. It was a pleasure to discover an 11 year old film that I've never seen before and remember what Timothy Hutton and Gil Bellows looked like back then...faces to fall in love with.
