Luke B Definitely not a movie for everyone but if you enjoy something different give it a go. It's beautiful shot, funny,sad, silly and unnerving. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/30/24 Full Review Allison Beautifully crafted and written, great acting. Haunting and confusing. Funny and scary. It's an intimate theater piece so don't expect a (boring) epic Hollywood story. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/08/24 Full Review Aldis H There is no such thing as THE worst movie ever. There are plenty of movies that sit at the very bottom of the scale and could not be worse. This is one of them. Nothing happens. I mean NOTHING. Zero stars. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/12/23 Full Review Jackie K Completely bizarre film in which four men stumble around in a field during the English Civil War. There's nothing quite like it! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/22/23 Full Review Cerys L This was a wild trip, full of gorgeous cinematography, fantastic acting, and a thrilling plot. At times it was confusing, but it all came together in one glorious finale. The underlying theme of magic and the occult was a lovely addition, giving the whole film a dark, mysterious feeling. I highly enjoyed it, and it's been on my mind ever since. At times the editing can be a bit much, and some questions weren't answered, but overall a great movie. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/19/23 Full Review wayne k While it may have a name you're more likely to find on the cover of a Victorian novel than on a poster for a film containing mass hallucinogenic consumption, A Field In England is a surprisingly complex narrative with some unsurprisingly striking visuals. We've seen plenty of films which have depicted the English Civil War over the years, but usually those films focus on the battles themselves and their consequences. A Field In England is more about power; specifically, the abuse of it. We have a band of men who couldn't be more different, being forced together by a tyrannical alchemist who demands they help him look for treasure. Through a series of increasingly chaotic events, attitudes and allegiances will change, and by the time its over most of those involved have experienced their own character arc. It does hammer its points in very heavily, and its highly stylised nature renders it almost impenetrable to the average moviegoer. Few people would be willing to pay cinema prices to see a story told in this manner. It's definitely a film you admire more than you enjoy, if you even like it at all, but it demonstrates that a visual medium is the perfect way to tell a story like this, exposing the flaws of the characters by showing them to us rather than telling us about them. Not a pleasant watch, or a film you'd hurry back to, but a fascinating experience nonetheless. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
