Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The result is confusion, not catharsis.

It's serious stuff, intended for serious movie people. The only problem is, serious movie people have already been there, done that.

Possibly the stories fit too neatly. If so, it's hardly a fatal flaw.
– Lisa Kennedy,

rotten:
If Arriaga had allowed us to spend more time with the key characters in this extended tragedy, or had spent some time punching up the plot, The Burning Plain might have had a chance.

Throw in enough symbolism to choke an English-lit major and you have a film challenge that too often feels like a chore.
