Hedlund completely understands the kind of person so uncertain in his own skin that he will go along with people as evil as Tom Griffin just to find some sort of peace. And Riseborough matches him beat for beat.

Hampered by a story you've heard a million times and an uneven approach, Burden never justifies why we're revisiting such familiar material.

Hedlund does wonders showing us Burden’s hidden resources and the scars he’s still carrying.
Rolling Stone
Rating: 2/4 --
The sense that a lot of these characters have been reduced to their narrative purpose destroys the world that Burden needed to create to work.

Rating: C+ --
Such a predictable story and environment doesn't exactly lend itself to depth. It can even ironically end of reassuring those who most need to reflect on their role in where we've found ourselves today.

Writer and director Andrew Heckler has managed to make a powerful film, if not a very subtle one.

Overall, Burden is too long and many of its beats have been appropriated from other movies about Southern racism.

Product Description:
As a museum dedicated to the Ku Klux Klan opens in his small South Carolina town, Reverend Kennedy (Forest Whitaker) promises to neutralize the racial tension that arises as a result of this development. Things become more difficult when his congregation finds out that he will be giving shelter to Mike Burden (Garrett Hedlund), an orphan raised as a Klansman who's currently trying to detach himself from the Klan. The two men find themselves in direct opposition to a cunning KKK leader, endangering their families' lives. Written and directed by Andrew Heckler.
