Review of Burning (2018) by Mainstreamkid — 13 Feb 2019
Burning is a very well shot film and its "blue morning" aesthetic marries its screenplay's mysterious nature quite perfectly. The soundtrack, too, is in perfect consonance with the film and I was amazed at how good and natural the performances were.
Steven Yeun is incredible in this. His subtle but convincing acting choices really bring life, not only to his character, but also to the entire scenes he's in. This film is definitely not what I thought it was going to be, and I'm glad it was able to surprise me.
To me, Burning is a beautiful car in flames, in the distance, slowly heading in your direction. It takes you a while to make out what it is, but when you figure it out, the car is inches from you already and you're too distracted by its flames to do something about it.
