    Rotting Pasts and Quality Storytelling

    The darkness of us, our dark acts and rotting pasts juxtaposed against the haunting beauty of Kentucky landscapes. Harlan (my hometown) is the backdrop for a family mystery that unfolds itself like a tired and sad nightmare. Besides some sporadic cliche dialogue and regional stereotypes, this film is a serious piece of artwork directed by a talented woman with a promising future.

    Slick, Intense, and Thoroughly Engaging

    _Burning Kentucky_ is an indie film slick enough to have been produced by a major studio. With strong acting from all cast members, stunning cinematography of the Kentucky landscape, and a mysterious, engaging plot line, it grabs the viewer's attention in the first frame and doesn't let go until the final credits roll. It provides an intense movie experience which will remind some viewers of the highly touted film, _Three Billboards out of Ebbing Missouri_. Fans of the best-selling novel _Where the Crawdads Sing_ will also find _Burning Kentucky_ enthralling. Put it on your watch list!

    Glad I sought this movie out. I have seen this story unfold in life and it it paralyzing and soul stealing. The performances are solid and endearing. I hope this film maker will continue to tell stories about how the world is really in control.

    Obvious fake 10 star reviews. I enjoyed it. But it has a dark indie vibe. Not for everyone.

    A Beautiful and Compelling Kentucky Film

    I was lucky enough to see this amazing film in theatres last July, and it was simply spectacular. Being a Kentuckian, I not only appreciated the beautiful locations chosen for the film, but the stunning cinematography used to emphasize our state's natural beauty. The film tells an intense and twisted love story that is unlike anything I've seen before. I would highly recommend watching this film, as getting to see it was one of the highlights of my summer.
