Dan S @DanSam Dec 15 An icredibly bizarre, yet infinitely captivating piece of experimental psychedelic folk horror cinema. See more irina b @RT55523034 Oct 5 While quite dreamy and wanting full attention from the viewer - I loved this story about friendship while facing ...many types of death. I'll quote the lines for years to come because its still a very positive movie and quite a sight. It almost never loses focus on what it is to be human - to be utterly lost. In a field. In England. See more Luke B @RT22926639 10/30/2024 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. See more Aldis H @plever 09/12/2023 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. See more Jackie K @JackieK 08/21/2023 Completely bizarre film in which four men stumble around in a field during the English Civil War. There's nothing quite like it! See more wayne k @RT88290232 01/20/2023 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. See more Read all reviews
