El N @movievibes972 Sep 14 Save yourself from this agony. This movie is slow. And pretty bad. But hidden in pretentious metaphors and nonsense scenes. The story is simple. A man meets a childhood friend. She recognizes him. Seduces him. Has sex with him and leaves for a trip. When she comes back she comes with a wealthy man. He obsesses with this man until she disappears. He starts to trail the man until he eventually confronts him and invites him in. Then he invites the wealthy man and brutally murders him. Burns the car and burns his clothes. The story is slow, pointless and offers no payoff. The pacing is horrible! Hard pass.

Steven Yeun drew me to the movie, good acting & a well written plot kept me watching, despite the length & subtitles.

By the way, I'm the sort of person who enjoyed "Das Boot" but that day in 2019 I suddenly had to choose the only cinema session available, so maybe I wasn't as self-selecting as other reviews. What a lot of sh*te this movie was. Terrible pacing, vacuous themes. The lead character c*ms three times and gets his kicks from erect towers, stalking and calling women whores. And knifing. He’s an unemployed loser with the world’s worst writer’s block who turns out to be a jealous person as well. The book he’s writing is a “mystery” because nobody knows, not even the author, what’s going in it. The promised threesome never eventuates.

What begins as a straightforward drama/romance gradually veers into darker, mystery-thriller territory, keeping you guessing the whole way. Steven Yeun is a standout, somehow managing to be both disgustingly likeable and subtly creepy. While an epilogue could have added some much-needed resolution, Burning remains a well-made, engaging film—even if it tests your patience.

Only problem was that it seemed like an attempt to stray from cliche portrayals, which it did a good job of, aside from the portrayal of the antagonist. See more Dani G @RT81139271 07/07/2025 Honestly, the first time I saw it I didn't find this that cool or interesting. The second time (and until somebody told me something I was missing), that was when I said "whoooa, now that's intriguing" See more Read all reviews
