Fake it 'til you make it. The latest gem from Amalia Ulman (El Planeta), MAGIC FARM takes us on a kaleidoscopic journey packed with twists and turns, cross-cultural encounters and true personalities. When a misguided American documentary crew in search of their next viral segment ends up in the wrong town in rural Argentina, chaos ensues. As they collaborate with locals to fake a new music trend, unexpected relationships form and an unfolding health crisis becomes apparent. Colorful and unfiltered, MAGIC FARM is led by a stellar ensemble including Chloë Sevigny, Alex Wolff and Simon Rex. Shot through with a vivid sense of place, this Berlinale and Sundance selection combines a surreal send-up of the media with a heartfelt exploration of humanity.

Tim Grierson

Screen International

The cast, led by Chloe Sevigny and Alex Wolff, ably skewer the American media’s ignorance of the wider world, but Ulman’s compassionate film holds out hope that different peoples can still make connections.

Matt Donato

TheWrap

Rampant themes of narcissism, ineptitude, and egotism are worth a chuckle, but “Magic Farm” ultimately succumbs to the same superficiality its screenplay takes to task.

Rated: 2.5/5

Variety

A formally radical, biting satire about odious, privileged Americans adrift in a remote Argentine rural town.

Loud and Clear Reviews

An hysterically funny, effortlessly charming gem with a vibrant visual style, and that will have your jaw on the floor the moment you realize, at the very end, what it’s actually about.

Rated: 4/5
