Review of Burning

Burning (2018)
8/10
The antidote to Hollywood in-your-face thrillers
28 September 2021
First, you should know this is a SLOW burn (pun intended). It takes its time, it deals in wide shots and contemplative views of scenery. It lets you make up your own mind and decisions about many plot points. And in that, it's ravishingly beautiful.

This is not a shaky hand-held closeup Hollywood thriller that guides you from point A to B to C, assuming you're an idiot that can't follow a plot. Instead, it sets its scene and characters, lets them unfold and open up for you throughout the corse of the film, and then hands judgement off to you, the viewer.

You will be thinking about this movie for days after watching.
