Peter Bradshaw Guardian It feels like the truncated version of a much longer and more thought-through film. Rated: 2/5 Apr 17, 2020 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies Leclercq knows his way around with the camera, and Bouajila’s sturdy lead performance provides us with somewhat of a rooting interest. But so much of its story seems to be missing, and its characters never get the depth they desperately need. Rated: 2/5 Aug 20, 2022 Full Review John Serba Decider Clocking in at 80 minutes, Earth and Blood is lean and... lean. So lean, it feels like it's missing a few scenes. Apr 22, 2020 Full Review Adam Sweeting The Arts Desk In fact Leclerc's opening scene might be a little too good, since the rest of the movie has a hard time matching it.

Yvonne T Nice film. I like it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/09/23 Full Review T T It's watchable, but barely. It was ok, until the last 15 minutes which were really lame. The ending was also very stupid. Thankfully, the whole movie was only 80 minutes long, which is good because many directors these days would have gone unnecessarily for another 20-30 minutes. So, thankfully, this director respected the viewer and kept this short. It's an ok movie to watch, just to pass the time- if you have it. But, it's definitely nothing I would go out of my way to watch, especially if your time is limited. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/13/23 Full Review r 9 Decent viewing if you just want to switch off your brain, but 'Earth and Blood' isn't anything good. It's just so underdeveloped, there is little to no reason to care for any of the characters onscreen. We get pieces of backstory with a few of the protagonists, though the antagonists are completely plain and lack any creativity. I was never invested in this, unfortunately. Sami Bouajila is, at least, good in the lead role. I've now seen three French language films and he has been in two of them; following on from the also underwhelming 'The Crew' from 2015, which is directed by Julien Leclercq too. I do like Bouajila. No-one else stands out, though I did enjoy Sofia Lesaffre as Sarah. It has a few decent deaths, a solid lead and a couple of nice shots - though they could've used the Sawmill location to greater effect. However, disappointingly, it's a poor film all in all. It's a positive that it only runs for 80 minutes, but a bit longer could've helped it create some depth to the onscreen lot. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Jez B Filmed almost entirely in the dark, made it hard to follow, quite boring really Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/05/20 Full Review Audience Member What did I think of Earth & Blood?
