      Stephen Romei The Australian If you don't know the real story behind the cinematic story, as I didn't, I suggest you keep it that way. Watching it unfold across the course of this 110-minute drama is absorbing. Rated: 4/5 Dec 2, 2020 Full Review Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald This is a family story, intimate and painful, rather than something abstract. Bergeon directs carefully, without the flourishes that often tempt young directors. Rated: 4/5 Nov 25, 2020 Full Review Jordan Mintzer Hollywood Reporter A solemn true story of agricultural strife. Oct 4, 2019 Full Review Jane Freebury The Canberra Times (Australia) In the Name of the Land is another tragic portrait of the struggling French rural sector... Rated: 3/5 Aug 23, 2022 Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) The contrast between the sheer beauty of the land and the harsh realities of big business is very skilfully controlled by writer-director Edouard Bergeon, who obviously knows this moving and subtly provocative tale inside out. Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 20, 2020 Full Review Damien Straker Impulse Gamer The visuals are stunning but an opportunity for a more subtle cautionary tale was missed. Rated: 2.5/5 Nov 25, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

      Aender S A marvellously well shot film treating mental health of farmers. Heart-wrenching it's based on the director's father's life story.
