Burning Palms is a decent movie with a great cast. The first story will probably hit most viewers the hardest, if not the final story.
The first segment: It is hard to believe. That the father is having an incestuous relationship with his daughter. Even though he seems comfortable with her having sex with a one-night stand. His fiancee is dismayed by their behavior toward one another, rightfully so, but rather than leaving, decides to commit suicide, like the daughter's birth mother. I would rate this part about a 5.
The second segment was a lot more entertaining, very dark, but, more in line with type of story. I would rate this part an 8.
The third segment, while I believe to be better than the first, is not as good as the second. It a heavy comment on how society treats and views it's children. I would rate this part a 6.
The fourth segment again shows how are children are viewed, but, on several different levels. The children seemingly abandoned by the parents, to be raised by others. How that effects their interaction with with other children. Finally, the maid, who so easily murders her own child. I would rate this part at a 6.
The fifth segment, much like the first, will be unsettling for most viewers. Rape is not a subject which we willingly discuss. The character's reaction to that act is certainly a idea. I would rate this part at a 5.
