Burning - Reviews

...a psychological masterpiece that will leave you full of doubt, dread, and searing questions about morality.

Sex, envy and pyromania make for a riveting mystery in Lee Chang-dong’s masterfully crafted Murakami adaptation.

Lee Chang-dong’s elegant mystery is full of pleasingly unsettling moments...

Elliptical and strange, it is more cryptic than the toughest crossword, but stick with it: the rewards are manifold.

...a great film, engrossing, suspenseful, and strange.

The absorbing story, thoughtful direction, and talented acting manage to hold the viewer's interest...

...a slow-burn mystery touched by genius.

...a daring study of class conflict and sexual longing that blazes with mystery.

...a Mesmerizing Tale of Working Class Frustrations

The film is a slow burner (yes, that is an intentional statement) and is so tense that your knuckles will turn white.

...en elegant, minimalistisk och kontrollerad film med få svar och dunkel atmosfär, men lång brinntid...

...er selve sindbilledet på det moderne samfund, ikke bare i Sydkorea, men i hele Vesten.

Et romantisk/jalousi trekantsdrama, med mere end tre sider, hvor vi fastholdes af nysgerrighed og forvirring.

...ett triangeldrama där allting faller på plats utan att resultatet någonsin känns förutbestämt.
