Who needs another story about a reprehensible racist discovering that racism is something he was taught, and not something that we’re born believing?

   Is 'burden' a good movie?

   • To be honest, a lot of “Burden” feels thin. Heckler tackles a lot in his debut, and his inexperience shows in how many of the supporting characters simply don’t register, particularly the non-white ones. Even Whitaker can’t find a way to make his Reverend as memorable as the brief snippet that ends the film of the man himself actually preaching.

   • Like Green Book, The Blind Side, The Soloist and so on, Burden fits too snugly into the white-saviour mode of storytelling. Which is a shame, because everyone involved here is doing their best in trying to craft layered characters with compelling agendas.
