Burning - Kritiken

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

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.

...a Mesmerizing Tale of Working Class Frustrations

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

...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.
