Pretty effing good story about milking purple potatoes for chips. Two brothers with frenchie names living in the border town in the maritimes, played by englishes, wish they were living in a more english place named Boston. The whole thing smells too much like potatoes and one brother breaks free of the regular mold to get into drug deal mold. The film is down-to-earth good like potatoes well chipped, which I wish I had. We kind of see that the rot is so prevalent, drugs getting bought from old guys and exchanged for cash, etc. The film holds its own, english-wise. The end is frenchie. It has a small town feel. The dramatic end was to come. No way this film, with this tone, could have ended well. Great time all around! haha!

A contemporary true-to-life story of poverty-ridden, economically depressed rural northern Maine, a place where welfare and the drug culture is dominant. The young actors live it and live it hard, and at least one escapes and flies over the cuckoo's nest.

Very compassionate film with great story line. The movie feels very convincing and authentic. The two leads did beautiful performances and made the movie that much better.

The languid pace effectively communicates the characters' crushing boredom, yet the dramatic interest never flags.

Boston Globe

While the climax of Beneath the Harvest Sky is a jumble of crosscutting, thunderstorms, and an inconveniently collapsing house, the movie never loses the pulse of people and tragedies it knows too well.

Rated: 2.5/4

For all its missteps, the film feels authentic. Through thick and thin, it stubbornly maintains a thorny integrity.

While we're never surprised at the outcomes, we're satisfied because few if any notes ring false.

The performances in "Beneath the Harvest Sky" are better than the movie itself, an exceedingly derivative teen melodrama that too often loses focus and meanders off on lugubrious tangents with its criminal subplots.

Rated: 1.5/4

It's Just Movies

A story that unfolds nearly as slowly as the potatoes ripen in the fields, the charismatic performances of the two young leads make all the difference.
