["Burning Bush"] is a lesser, far more conventional film than Frederick Wiseman's "At Berkeley," Claude Lanzmann's "The Last of the Unjust" or Lav Diaz's "Norte, the End of History" but it's hardly without interest... The opening is sensational and, as if the narrative weren't compelling enough, Holland keeps trying to top it for the rest of the movie with a hectic, hyper dramatic camera style suggestive of her mentor, the great Polish director Andrzej Wadja.
