Burning

Oh my god I loved this so much. First of all, to get the obvious out of the way, it’s gorgeous and the camera work is incredible. The colors and the use of light was nothing short of amazing. The score? Off-putting and PERFECT. I just wanna note as well that I felt more enticed by this slow burn than by any thriller I’ve seen in recent memory. But also within this story, what was actually happening and what was not felt so ambiguous, but in such a masterful way that you were not at all left unsatisfied at the end. The ambiguity is actually what I think makes this film so special. And so brilliant.  I was left with my jaw on the ground and my mind overwhelmed. I just. I really liked it a lot. Also may I say, Steven Yeun is amazing. And a shoutout to Hae Young for pointing out multiple instances of symbolism that went way over my head.
