Burning Plain, The
horizontal line

Flashbacks dominate this bleak, convoluted, nonlinear film in which a bitter, flesh-scarring, self-hating, promiscuous restaurant manager (Charlize Theron) in Oregon, who sleeps around with a married chef (John Corbett) and a wine-loving customer, is haunted by childhood memories as a 16-year-old student (Jennifer Lawrence) living in a Mexican border town after she learns that her unhappy mother (Kim Basinger) is cheating on her husband (Brett Cullen) with a kindhearted Mexican (Joaquim de Almeida), and she ends up pregnant with a beautiful daughter (Tessa Ia) she neglects when she rebels by sleeping with the smitten son (D. D. Pardo) of her mother's lover.
