The Hollywood Reporter
Burning Man takes its time getting us to feel for a troubled character but gets the hook in solidly once it decides to. - 63
Slant Magazine
Say what you will about Burning Man, but writer-director Jonathan Teplitsky can't be accused of spoon-feeding his audience. - 60
The New York Times
Burning Man benefits from the highly watchable Mr. Goode and able players like Rachel Griffiths and Kerry Fox. - 60
Village Voice
The high-sheen Australian drama Burning Man leans heavily on a scrambled chronology, and likewise feels tonally mixed up, but it certainly does keep you guessing. - 40
Variety
