British, Ash scattering road trip with oodles of heart

Seph and Alex have just lost a very dear friend. That is Dan who had not told anyone of his imminent demise but had been making films that eh intended to speak for him from beyond the grave.One of his wishes was for them to take his ashes to various locations that were milestones in his life and leave a little bit of him in each one. He even has the transport worked out for them and they have to watch a part of his film at each site. This then becomes a road trip with a difference and the two girls soon find that it is more than a series of tasks for a friend it becomes a voyage of discovery for both of them.Now this is a comedy drama but more drama than comedy as the comical moments tend to be the sort that are more incidental to life – which makes it much more watchable. It is an indie effort but has the hallmarks of a quality production and a few big names like Alison Steadman and Julian Rhind-Tutt, to name but two, are thrown in for good measure. Recommended for those who like a gentle comedy with moments of poignancy and just a dash of well placed drama.

A satisfying journey

Burn Burn Burn takes what I think is the rare, successful stab of tackling something dark and honest (the death of a close friend) as a comedy while not shying away from the realities of the situation. Through both the very strong performances and writing, you really get the sense that this is a lived in and complicated friendship. And I think that's really what stuck with me and why I feel its an enjoyable ride. This is a road movie with heart, and one that crucially never loses sight of its relationships. It might be sadder than you were expecting, it might be funnier. But to me, this film hits in the exact right spot. Life is funny and sad at the same time, and all the more rewarding for it. Just like 'Burn Burn Burn'.
