Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald The tone of the film is also unexpectedly lyrical -- like a fairytale, albeit grimmer than Grimm. Unrelieved horror and violence can be enervating, but this film has the benefit of truth, and a message of survival. Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 20, 2019 Full Review Ben Kenigsberg New York Times [A] provocative if slightly plodding movie... Oct 24, 2019 Full Review Carlos Aguilar Los Angeles Times Dishearteningly, Enitan's transition from lost soul to a scholar and now an artist gets shoved into the final minutes left over after all the bleakness. Akinnuoye-Agbaje's admirable life story gets reduced to its most sensational chapter. Oct 24, 2019 Full Review Alistair Lawrence Common Sense Media A grimly interesting story that is sadly reduced to a cliched, tedious movie. Rated: 2/5 Nov 3, 2021 Full Review Kelechi Ehenulo VultureHound Farming may not be the best-executed story, but with a captivating performance by Damson Idris, nevertheless, it is still a story worth telling. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 3, 2020 Full Review Louise McLeod Tabouis Battle Royale With Cheese This is a film principally about self-protection and urban day-to-day survival...a low budget film in terms of finance, but not in terms of aspiration.
