Mr. Rains, Ms. Leo and Mr. Franco are all so interesting that you wish they had more to bite into. But the film has a transfixing quality nonetheless. Dec 8, 2016 | Full Review…

There's plenty of intelligence and atmosphere in play here - Adam Newport-Berra's fluid, textured cinematography is a standout, and the performances, especially Rains' charismatic portrait of someone scarred yet innocent, are engaging. Dec 8, 2016 | Full Review…

More of an interesting thesis than a compelling drama, but it's anchored by Rains' sturdy performance as a man whose open-minded curiosity about his new home disengages his natural wariness, for both better and worse. Dec 7, 2016 | Rating: B- | Full Review…

The movie - at first scrappy and strange but an increasingly tough sit as it goes - never fixes its gaze on any singularly compelling idea. Dec 6, 2016 | Full Review…

Despite some atmospheric touches, the film doesn't offer much meaningful insight into the struggle of a man trying desperately to assimilate into a new culture. Jan 16, 2017 | Full Review…

Nothing that follows Burn Country's jarring opening scene, which drops us without warning into an ongoing performance of an avant-garde play, quite lives up to its audacious intensity and strangeness. Dec 9, 2016 | Rating: 5.9/10 | Full Review…

For a film that warns against believing in a mirage, Burn Country seems all too comfortable perpetuating one. Dec 4, 2016 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

Sitaru effortlessly balances the demands of the thriller genre with careful characterizations and a sympathetic, never-judgmental look at poverty and crime. Sep 9, 2016 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Though [Rains is] strong in The Fixer, willing to push his character's initially endearing curiousity into aggressive and stubborn places and show real emotional confusion in a foreign land, the picture is otherwise a mixed bag. Jun 13, 2016 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…
