      Freda Cooper The People's Movies Telling the story backwards benefits the narrative. And, while Garrity and Chernick, are at home with the complexities of love, their comedy has been toned down, so the result is harsher and sharper, with wince-making moments that really make you squirm. Rated: 3/5 Mar 9, 2024 Full Review Daryl MacDonald Film Inquiry The Burning Season is an intricately told story of secrets, guilt, and lust, anchored by great chemistry between its co-stars, and a satisfying script that reveals more secrets as each chapter unfolds. Mar 9, 2024 Full Review Ross McIndoe Vague Visages The prickly, nuanced performances from Chernick and Canning help drive The Burning Season’s mystery. Mar 9, 2024 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film This feels, at times, like a kind of anti-cinema. It offers its share of sensation and big emotion, but elevates the ordinary, the joys of a more mundane life. Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 5, 2024 Full Review Andrew Murray The Upcoming There’s a genuinely enthralling story lurking in The Burning Season. However, it’s not the one this film focuses on. Rated: 3/5 Mar 5, 2024 Full Review Kat Hughes THN A romantic drama told in reverse; unpicking the mystery hidden within ensures that The Burning Season keeps the viewer engaged. What could have been a cheap gimmick perfectly moulds this tale of tragedy and desire into something elegant and compelling. Rated: 4/5 Mar 5, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
