Rachel Pronger IndieWire Nov 4
This is no pastoral romance; on the contrary, it is a film steeped in the darkest impulses, the despair implicit in the natural world’s cosmic disregard for our fates and the cruelty inherent in human nature. Go to Full Review
Becca James Chicago Reader Aug 11
Harvest is a sprawling, atmospheric film. Go to Full Review
Richard Brody The New Yorker Aug 8
“Harvest” is fundamentally a work of political cinema, a social archeology of the emergence of capitalism—of the depravities of modern economics and the inherent injustices of its legal premises. Go to Full Review
Stephen A. Russell Orion's Shoulder (Substack) Sep 8
Enthralling ... Tsangari’s wild and unruly, woozy work of pure golden oddity, spun in 16mm by Good Time cinematographer Sean Price Williams, would be almost achingly sad, exposing the heart of dastardliness, if it weren’t wrought with so much wonder. Go to Full Review

6/10
Harvest seems to draw inspiration from these studies of cults, but also dials things down and stretches them out, all in the mood, atmosphere, and style. Go to Full Review
Soham Gadre Film Inquiry Aug 28
One just wishes that there was some conviction here, a sharpened point on the spear, but Tsangari seems satisfied to keep Harvest as a teaser, a tragedy of a place with no name and leaving it nameless and without doctrine. Go to Full Review

Peter H Nov 1 Great adaptation of an incredible book. Successfully created the feeling of a community at ease with itself being confronted/torn apart by new things arriving. Very good acting and sense of place. Loved it. See more tyler r Oct 30 Beautiful cinematography and great acting, squandered by a meandering narrative which, for the most part, really doesn't end up being worth your time. See more Kevin K Oct 20 Slow, and not in a good way. It's not even a slow burn, it's just slow. To call it a horror, or to reference it as being in that genre, is misleading. Folk horror works when it's done well, this is just a rambling story about land ownership. I don't get the hype. See more Lee B Sep 21 Not what I was expecting and took a while to actually get to a plot (The land dispute). If it actually got there quicker it might have had some structure and built to something. Instead it just meanders. Some nice shots though. See more Jason C Sep 6 Frankly the movie is boring. It feels as if the entire production was holding its breath wait to surmount the hill yet never reaching its peak. The movie has no direction. Theres a difference between letting the audience chart its course and simply having no purpose. I can’t agree with most of the critic reviews because simply they’re describing a different movie. There was no plot, no atmosphere, no horror just a meaningless attempt at showing how the modern world creeps in. Theres violence was pointless. The characters were two dimensional at best. The plot was weak. Frankly it was a struggle to watch and even have watched it all the way through all I can find myself asking is what was the point to it all. Their people were essentially abducted and all they did was simply whine then go home. There was no attempt at making these characters have any depth, there was no emotional attachment whatsoever and sadly felt like someone trying to make point while not understanding the point they’re making. The critic reviews for this movie can simply only be described as pretentious. The same type of reviews people give to trashy modern art trying to show meaning in a white canvas with a single redline drawn down the middle. The movie is boring that’s it. That’s the best way to describe it. No points made other than capitalism bad. This movie could’ve easily achieved the goal they wanted to set by making the town actually feel alive, give the characters some believable traits. The acting in this movie felt like a middle school play. They made no effort at forming emotion towards each other and you can’t even tell if people hate Walter or respect him because all emotion towards him is a constant flat line. This movie should be rated far lower than it currently stands. See more Richard S @RichardS Aug 2 Nice movie completely falls apart at the end with a series of ridiculous scenes and lack of continuity - the two women are rescued but they show up later in the cart? The beginning has some great folk horror moments. Acting is just okay. Too long. See more Read all reviews
