Leave your thoughts about Burn Your Maps.
| The Film StageJared MobarakDon’t think this story is one steeped in heavy drama from start to finish without room to breathe. Roberts’ script — written from an original idea by Robyn Joy Leff — is also very funny. |
| GuardianJordan HoffmanWe can debate if Burn Your Maps merely fetishises a different culture or holds it in true reverence, but I’d like to give it the benefit of the doubt. If nothing else, the performances are terrific all around. |
| NOW TorontoGlenn SumiThe set-up is quirky and charming, but director Roberts has problems with tone |
| Cinema ScopeRobert KoehlerA small tale of a boy's obsession realized, writer-director Jordan Roberts' Burn Your Maps is the perfect movie for TIFF audiences who want to do some armchair travelling but don't want to bother with those pesky subtitles. |
| User ReviewLawrence SSaw this at The Toronto Film Festival. Farmiga and Tremblay are magic! Absolute original quirky spin on a story about a family being torn apart by tragedy and then glued back together by love. Bring tissues! |
| User ReviewRick MFunny and heartfelt. Outstanding acting by all. |
