Critics Consensus

While it may lack a narrative punch, Alcarràs captures this rural world and its heritage with a gripping sense of nostalgia for things forever gone.

David Stratton

The Australian

This is another “end of an era” movie, and a very special one at that.

Rated: 4/5

Sydney Morning Herald

Alcarras reminds us of what we’ve been missing. It’s a beautiful, sad, authentic depiction of the drama within one extended family facing a kind of oblivion.

Rated: 4.5/5

K. Austin Collins

Rolling Stone

Simón is attentive to the family as a complex unit, depicting it as a thriving mesh of personalities that do not all agree, but which are all bent toward the common ends of labor and survival, like the fibers comprising a muscle.

Cinéfilo Serial

It's one of those unusual stories that we can all relate to at some point. A drama with comedic overtones that never lets the plot fall and also features great character development. [Full Review in Spanish]

Alcarràs might not have the deep emotional connection it strives for, but its detailed world of textured characters makes it an experience worth having.

The worst movie I have ever seen. Seen quite a few art house/festival/foreign movies but this was The most excruciatingly boring movie I have ever seen. Nothing happened. Then nothing happened. I can't believe this was ever put to screening to the public
