Utterly predictable young adult romance. All the emotional depth of Riverdale, with about the same budget for eyebrows, the same artistic passion for two-dimensional character development, and the same target audience in mind.
I'd have rated it a 5, but the Burning Man locale is so arbitrary, I'll deduct a point for that. The artistic license for setting, generally, is absurd. The Reno airport wouldn't recognize itself in this movie. I get the whole middle-of-nowhere idea, but it sure doesn't have to start there. Let this poor emo sap run out of cab money by Wadsworth -- which he damn sure would -- and start it there. So many lazy details. The writers might have at least visited the area with their eyes open to get a better sense of what's actually there.
And the male lead is supposed to be some guitar virtuoso? The playing's OK. No one's going to fall in love with it, unless maybe you're a young, rapid-cycling manic British girl with absolutely no problems who has taken her wild-child diagnosis and decided to run with it.

Walking to Burning Man would be less boring (and cliché)
Just didn't get there for me
Tbh I found this movie confusing. It's listed as a Spanish film but everyone spoke English, most with a British accent... Secondly it was never very clear what country this was set it. Looks like England in parts but they keep referring to burning man which is typically in the USA, except there is a version of it held in Spain... Those unclear points aside, a nerdy music school kid falls for a carefree girl whose entire ambition appears to be going to burning man festival. Add to that, all her friends seem to hate the new guy because they want to keep sleeping with the French girl. I've lived long enough to know if your girlfriend suddenly runs away, best to let her go. Chasing after love is a juvenile concept. I did like the cab driver, who served as a sort of conscience to the musician when he chases after the girl. While I appreciated they spoke English, thus saving me the trouble of reading subtitles, I felt ultimately the plot felt a C little too teenage love story for my taste
Nothing at all to like here
This (not epic) tale describes an obsessive stalker who chases said object of obsession all the way from the UK to the Burning Man Festival.....oh so sick, distasteful and depressive - nothing to like here for me......
