Lisa Kennedy Variety In introducing us to people who care deeply about the work they do, the animals they ranch, the people they employ and the food they bring to market or offer at their tables, the documentary stirs a sense of possibility. Feb 8, 2023 Full Review Alissa Wilkinson Vox A celebration of the role that farmers and restaurateurs play in their communities, and an invitation into caring about the truth of how we eat. Feb 2, 2023 Full Review Ty Burr Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack) The only people who need to see this movie are people who eat. Rated: 3.5/4 Jan 27, 2023 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews It didn't do enough to fill me up. Rated: B- Jun 29, 2023 Full Review Angelo Muredda Film Freak Central One wonders if a more earnest look at the subject would have made less time for the ruling class of food writers and more time for service workers. Rated: 2/4 May 11, 2023 Full Review Andrew Parker The Gate Messy, but well intentioned, the documentary Food and Country makes some great points about the continued devaluation of farmers, restaurants, and overall nutrition, but the package as a whole leaves plenty to be desired. Rated: 4/10 May 5, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
