Analyzed Film Review: Burning3/29/2020 Written by: Kevin Berge  There's not a lot of burning in this film, but it should still satisfy the arson crowd. (Image Courtesy of: thelastthingisee.com) Quick Take: Burning has the power of a classic thriller with the depth and focus that comes with a perfectly crafted story. However, its slow burn pace and ambiguity will wear on those not willing to watch, think, and think some more with no real conclusions.

Ben Affleck carries the film with his performance, and it is ultimately satisfying enough to make up for being familiar.
