Critic Reviews
In the year's richest, most complex and ultimately most heartbreaking film, Inarritu invites us to get past the babble of modern civilization and start listening to each other.Read the full review
The filmmakers succeed brilliantly in weaving these stories together, taking time to explore depth of character and relationships. The suspense builds throughout as everyone involved becomes lost in a place they don't understand with people they don't know if they can trust.Read the full review
Effectively building dread and emotional tension as tragic incidents triggered by human stupidity and carelessness steadily multiply, this film, like "21 Grams" in particular, employs a deterministically grim mindset in the cause of its philosophical aspirations, but is gripping nearly all the way.Read the full review

11/12/09 In early 2009, the "everything-is-connected" movie finally hit bottom when its chief architect, writer Guillermo Arriaga ( 21 Grams , Babel ), made his directorial debut with The Burning Plain , a film that epitomized the dirge-like self-importance of the worst cinematic puzzles. | The A.V.

Capone's Art-House Round-Up with Campion's BRIGHT STAR, NO IMPACT MAN, AMREEKA, and THE BURNING PLAIN!!!
09/17/09 While all of the performers in writer-director Jane Campion's long-overdue return to the lives of cloistered women in frocks who want nothing more than to tear them off for the right man (or possibly the wrong man) are quite good, but I find it quite funny that American Paul Schneider (AWAY WWE GO, THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES, LARS AND THE REAL GIRL, "Parks and Recreation") completely swipes every scene that he's in away from the film's stars. | Ain't It Cool News
