The Burning Plain (2009) Charlize Theron, Kim Basinger, J.D. Prado, Jennifer Lawrence
Good Story
This is a two-tiered story. You see the present as Sylvia (Theron) and the past as Mariana (still Sylvia, but known as Mariana). Sylvia is rocked by a confrontation with her past.
This is not as confusing as it seems. Until you catch on this is presented as though all is in the present, but it's not. Almost like a time space continuum, isn't it? The present is when Sylvia has decisions to make as she is shocked when reminded of her time long ago when she was Mariana. I know you will get it. Took me a while too.
Good story, but a little too much almost graphic sex. We get it and don't need to see and hear all of it. Get it?
Good story but the two people we really didn't care about was married Gina (Basinger) and her new lover. Something was missing with these two. Yes, we kept hoping they would get caught.
Good story and the two we did care about was Carlos (Prado) and Mariana (the young Sylvia, remember?). Their chemistry was gold.
Good story and it all hinged on Theron (Sylvia and the young Mariana but played by Jennifer Lawrence) who continues to impress with an Oscar worthy performance.
Violence: Yes. Sex: Yes. Nudity: Yes. Language: Yes.
