“Burning Kentucky” (** out of four) was a lumbering melodrama set in the deep South in which a young woman (Emilie Dhir) begins to try to put the pieces together from an event that killed her family and when she finds out the truth- she is put in an emotional and psychological crossfire about whether to avenge their death or let it go and move on. Director Bethany Brooke Anderson and cinematographer Matt Clegg do an impressive job of establishing the Kentucky aura and atmosphere but you soon realize that’s pretty much all the movie is, since it moves ploddingly and never builds to much and all the characters are typical small-town cliches. Even so, this one several awards at independent film festivals last year.
