“Burn is perhaps best viewed as a discomforting study of pain and desperation, wearing the clothing of a mechanical but nimble thriller.” - Mark Reviews Movies

“Burn’s saving grace is that it attempts to be a solipsistic fairy tale of a self-rescuing princess at the expense of the other characters who represent the world outside her skin.” - DC FilmDom
