Ultimately, Burn is a movie to watch in the moment and enjoy to some extent, but it's not one due a revisit - for what would be the point?

Full Review | Mar 22, 2021

Director Mike Gan delivers a dark, thrilling, and at times uncomfortable foray into an unstable mind.

... might have worked better as a short subject or one-act play, but feels thin at feature length.

Full Review | Sep 7, 2019

A small cast does justice to their unique and eerily individual characters, enough to keep you engaged but not enough to make this a memorable film experience.

Still, this is mostly a strong debut film, making good use of a single set and a talented cast.

Burn is an incredibly impressive debut feature from Mike Gan. The film is fast and tight and hits all the beats perfectly.

Full Review | Original Score: 9/10 | Aug 23, 2019

Some of the choices strain credulity and the biggest name in the piece, Josh Hutcherson, feels miscast, but this is a film that kept me uncertain of what would happen next and affirms Gan as an interesting young filmmaker to watch.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 23, 2019

A passably diverting, moderately offbeat but also instantly forgettable hybrid that doesn't even rank among the best truck-stop-in-crisis movies...

Burn is perhaps best viewed as a discomforting study of pain and desperation, wearing the clothing of a mechanical but nimble thriller.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 23, 2019

A tale of a gas station robbery that goes terribly wrong. Many viewers will think the movie does, too.

Full Review | Original Score: C- | Aug 23, 2019

An unconvincing nail-biter about fantasies of escape.

Full Review | Aug 22, 2019

In his first feature film, Burn, [writer/director Mike] Gan pushes the audience further than they may be comfortable as perception and expectation collide in surprising and disturbing ways.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 22, 2019

There's a lot of confidence to "Burn," and a smart casting find in lead Tilda Cobham-Hervey, who carries the picture with exceptional commitment.
