In 2009, a man and two accomplices try to evict members of the Indigenous community of Chuschagasta in northern Argentina. Claiming ownership of the land and armed with guns, they kill the community's leader, Javier Chocobar. The murder is caught on video. It takes nine years of protests before court proceedings are finally opened in 2018. During all this time, the killers remain free. The film combines the voices and photographs of the community with courtroom footage to explore the long history of colonialism and land dispossession that led to this crime.

Landmarks is a landmark in and of itself Go to Full Review Guy Lodge Variety Sep 1
Relative to Martel’s more formally radical fiction films, this is a straightforwardly constructed work, but a disciplined, clear-eyed one. Go to Full Review Jonathan Romney Screen International Sep 1
Landmarks may not strictly be the film that admirers of Martel’s formal radicalism have been waiting for: notwithstanding some eccentricities, it is a relatively conventional work. But it’s very much from the heart, and from the political conscience/ Go to Full Review William Stottor Loud and Clear Reviews Oct 16
3.5/5
In Landmarks (Nuestra Tierra), Lucrecia Martel’s first documentary film, the director’s interrogation of colonialism is as fierce as ever. Go to Full Review Clara Cuccaro In Review Online Oct 2
Martel, who archived every family photo and interview with permission, is effectively creating a new record with Landmarks that will hopefully counter the historical rhetoric that haunts Indigenous communities across Argentina to this day. Go to Full Review Kayleigh Donaldson Pajiba Sep 16
It’s the personal made political and vice versa, and it’s depicted with the sharpness and careful anger that has long defined Martel’s impeccable filmography. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
