Burning Man (2011)

The emotions, the characters, and the story line is perfect. It really hit the spot. "Burning Man" the sound tracks gives the right fleeing at the right time. And the most impotent part in this movie is the camera scenes. They are changing to give us some thing to think.First it look very complicated crap, but when the movie rolling it shows the pattern which life can have. It also give us an idea about the man's inside view. even the characters which selected by the director is very perfect to the story. "Tom" character in the movie is looks like very angry and selfish man but when the film running it show us how soft he is and why he turns.. The actor gives all the expectations he can to elaborate the movie character.The end part (last scene)Tom's kid asking about the lunch and the answer "lets make a pizza" was the most outstanding part of this movie.(The story part is also perfect but I was look for those cinematography parts only) Rating 7/10 perfectMadx666

At the opening of the movie I was unsure of what was happening this did lead to some confusion as to what this movie was really about, but hang in there as half way through the movie things start to get put into place and the jigsaw comes together, like the above reviewer some sex scenes were not warranted but the intimacy between both Matthew and Bojana (as husband and wife) were what brought this movie together.The sadness of what happens to the family left behind and how they struggle through grief and loss is heartbreaking, the hospital scenes which were portrayed in a dignifying and honest way are the sad reality of what really does happen to somebody who is terminally ill.This move in my view is better than my sisters keeper and shows what real Australian Talent is about I recommend it to everyone - but warning bring an open mind and plenty of tissues.

Could not stop watching this drama. Recommend as a must see to all!! Matthew Goode and Bojana Novakovic at their best. Incidental view of this non-linear narrative while flying back to Australia on Qantas. Fairly close to home for me personally, but showing the common emotion of grief up close and very intimately personal. I give this a higher score than Descendants, addressing similar issues. Hope this is available in other countries, and should be high on the recommended viewing list for friends (perhaps not families) of people dealing with terminal disease. It's not the typical suffering of a cancer victim that is portrayed here, it's the distress of the carer, a very busy chef, and his son. And of course Bojana is a jewel in the crown!

Red Dog had a good run at Cinemas all around Australia. Fine family movie. Eye of the storm , at selected Cinemas. Aimed at older folk. Burning Man, had to go to Sydney to see this one. Going on the age of the main characters, I am presuming that it aimed at the 30 plus age group. So I am in this group. But I must admit that it was Bojana Novakovic that attracted me to the film. And my wife likes Matthew Goode, so we were both looking forward to it. But right from the opening scenes, it was like watching another ABC mini-series. Male masturbation scenes seem to be flavour of the month, replacing the obligatory Urinal scene.I guess it is a buzz for the ladies, but Red Dog managed to get by without one. The whole storyline is just so negative. There was nothing pleasant about this movie. We left the theater lamenting on what could have been. Especially with such an excellent Australian lineup (and Kerry). And I was not looking forward to the 150 klm trip home.
