Digging for Fire takes you by surprise in the most unassuming way. It isn’t until after the film is over and you’ve digested what just transpired that you find yourself smiling, thinking about all the nuances you’ve just witnessed. When I first saw the trailer for the film, I was immediately drawn to the mystery of the rusty gun and what appears to be a human bone fragment unearthed in the backyard of a home Tim (Jake Johnson), a public school teacher, and his wife Lee (Rosemarie DeWitt), a yoga instructor, are house-sitting. Needless to say, what ensues throughout Digging for Fire caught me off guard in the most pleasant, unexpected way.
