  • Critic Reviews of "The Burning Plain"

    Globe and Mail

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

    Toronto Star
    October 16, 2009

    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.

    Denver Post
    October 02, 2009

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

    Detroit News
    September 25, 2009

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

    Chicago Reader

    The result is confusion, not catharsis.

    Minneapolis Star Tribune
    September 25, 2009

    The film is strikingly photographed and intensely acted, but the tone is overwrought melodrama.

    Critic's Notebook
    October 07, 2015

    If you are willing to turn a blind eye to the inherently hackneyed nature of "The Burning Plain," though, the film turns out to be somewhat rewarding.

    Film Comment Magazine

    What's that smell? The plain isn't the only thing that's charred in screenwriter Guillermo Arriaga's directorial debut; subtlety goes up in flames too.

    What Culture
    March 13, 2011

    Deep-seated emotional problems are examined in a complex movie that, as ever with Arriaga, refuses to fit into a straightforward narrative.

    Las Vegas CityLife
    January 31, 2011

    Knowing ... that it's a 20-year old story, one can only conclude the idea behind the film would have been best left unfilmed, an unfinished step toward greater things.

    Babel director shows his hand too soon

    Arriaga's multi-narrative format got the best of him. Rather than deliver a sense of shock and awe, it's swallowed up by complexity, leaving you to wonder, "This is it?"
