Critic Reviews of "The Burning Plain"
Globe and MailOctober 16, 2009Throw in enough symbolism to choke an English-lit major and you have a film challenge that too often feels like a chore.
Toronto StarOctober 16, 2009If 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 PostOctober 02, 2009Possibly the stories fit too neatly. If so, it's hardly a fatal flaw.
Detroit NewsSeptember 25, 2009It's serious stuff, intended for serious movie people. The only problem is, serious movie people have already been there, done that.
Minneapolis Star TribuneSeptember 25, 2009The film is strikingly photographed and intensely acted, but the tone is overwrought melodrama.
Critic's NotebookOctober 07, 2015If 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 MagazineNovember 17, 2013What'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 CultureMarch 13, 2011Deep-seated emotional problems are examined in a complex movie that, as ever with Arriaga, refuses to fit into a straightforward narrative.
Las Vegas CityLifeJanuary 31, 2011Knowing ... 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.
CinemaBlend.comAugust 12, 2010Arriaga'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?"
