Burn Burn Burn (2015)
Dan (Jack Farthing) dispatches his good friends Seph (Laura Carmichael) and Alex (Chloe Pirrie) on an arduous road trip to hit five disparate UK venues. He'll even accompany them: not so much backseat driver as wedged into the glove compartment, since the prematurely deceased Dan has assigned the bewildered, emotionally freefalling pair to scatter his ashes in places dear to his heart. Meantime, his funny, often painfully frank video missives map altogether rockier relationship terrain.

    Fantastic emotionally charged movie with depth and unique characteristics.

    I enjoyed this film very much. The artistic effort is easily recognized as you watch it. The story was unique and acting seemed very authentic. It's easy to see why this film has won such a prestigious award and has such great reviews. The emotion seems so real and it's great to see a movie with such strong female leads. It was also nice to see a film with a lesbian as a main character and for her not to die in some tragic way. This representation is important and this film made it happen in a way that made the character more than her sexuality. It was also refreshing that this movie wasn't simply all about a love interest. There was depth to this film that we often don't see in modern films. If you are looking for an emotional movie with lots of facets then you have found the right one. Also LOVED the music used in this film! Candy Says made the film that much more amazing! It's a must watch!

    Because Of Laura Carmichael

    If it wasn't for the superb actress Laura Carmichael i couldn't have given this a 10. Her acting is amazing and as always looks stunning in her movies as in The Secrets She Keeps giving a perfect performance and realistic character. I loved her humour in this movie. Such a perfectly likeable character unlike her sidekick and the most irritating dying friend. Stick with this, getting past the dismal introduction and you'll find it's a gem of a road trip adventure. Yet again Laura makes this beautiful movie.

    British, Ash scattering road trip with oodles of heart

    Seph and Alex have just lost a very dear friend. That is Dan who had not told anyone of his imminent demise but had been making films that eh intended to speak for him from beyond the grave.

    One of his wishes was for them to take his ashes to various locations that were milestones in his life and leave a little bit of him in each one. He even has the transport worked out for them and they have to watch a part of his film at each site. This then becomes a road trip with a difference and the two girls soon find that it is more than a series of tasks for a friend it becomes a voyage of discovery for both of them.

    Now this is a comedy drama but more drama than comedy as the comical moments tend to be the sort that are more incidental to life – which makes it much more watchable. It is an indie effort but has the hallmarks of a quality production and a few big names like Alison Steadman and Julian Rhind-Tutt, to name but two, are thrown in for good measure. Recommended for those who like a gentle comedy with moments of poignancy and just a dash of well placed drama.

    soothing

    I am great at feeling, i am lazy at writing. I am mostly just writing this to remember how this movie had made me feel, so this isnt helpful if u r looking for a review.

    Its a feel good movie, its a movie that reinforces ur beleif in ciinema, and u realise its an uplifter. Cinema elevates us, sometimes loudly, sometimes quietly.

    I have been watching movies numblessly teh entire lockdown, this movie made a mark. It inspired emotions, it made me stop and relate.

    We dont relate with stories, we relate with how they make us feel. My neuroticism relates to this one.

    i think the dead guy angle works well with me. we will all die, but i like Kurt Cobain, Heath Ledger, etc. and Dan, character in this movie, much more cuz I know they are already gone. death is potetially romanticised.

    Worth seeing

    This independent British film is basically a road movie based on a conceit - that two female friends go round the country scattering the ashes of a deceased friend, at his behest. They both have problems, and the film is really about them. On the way they encounter various people, some odder than others. Some of the film is sad, some mildly funny. It is always engrossing. Julian Rhind-Tutt is good as the obnoxious, self centred and now dead Dan, who only appears on a laptop. It is good to see Laura Carmichael in something less buttoned-up than Downton Abbey. But the centre of this film is Chloe Pirrie's performance as closed-up Alex, burdened with secrets she can't talk about. Well worth seeing.
