Burning Kentucky

Sorry folks but you will probably be better off watching paint dry! Not sure what the director was looking for, not sure what I was looking for. Maybe I'll start drinking again and give it another review? My wife still has no clue and she is very kind. Wash your hands, and stay distant!

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.

Didn't have any idea what I was going to see and I was surprised with how much I liked the film. Excellent pacing through the movie that makes this thriller more suspenseful and shocking as it goes deeper and deeper into the fire.

_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!

It covered all aspects of intertwining cultures: ex. Police, clergy, hillbillies, small town folks. Well worth a watch. The actors and actresses rose to the occasion by a great directing staff.
