The Burning Plain (2008): A drama with a two-tiered storyline concerning a mother and daughter who try to form a bond after the young woman's difficult childhood. (6.7)
Director: Guillermo Arriaga
Writer: Guillermo Arriaga
Stars: Charlize Theron, Kim Basinger, Jennifer Lawrence
A good story of a woman's childhood coming back to haunt her. It begins as several unconnected story segments but eventually come back to fit into places like a nice puzzle. The casting is perfect. I have a feeling that Jennifer Lawrence will be perfect for strong lead female characters. I liked the story and the way it was told, sort of like burning a candle at both ends. (Yeah, "burning" has many meanings in this movie.) My Rating: 6.5
