Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter The film is carried less by its somewhat familiar plot — or rather, its two matching plots — than by solid turns from the ensemble cast. Jun 14, 2024 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Variety There’s a dramatic downside to this worldly, almost neutral view of adultery... The Freshly Cut Grass is relentlessly cool and circumspect. Yet there’s a value to its observational humanity. Jun 11, 2024 Full Review Marcelo Stiletano La Nación (Argentina) Murga looks at lives that are suddenly altered by the emergence of foreign bodies with delicacy and a very fine power of observation, two markers of her style... [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Sep 19, 2024 Full Review Pablo O. Scholz Clarín ... The film tells both stories as if they were mirrored. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/4 Sep 19, 2024 Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com Murga confirms her usual sensibility, talent, and pliability... although in certain moments and decisions, the ease, lightness, and naturalness of her previous work is missed. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 17, 2024 Full Review Juan Pablo Russo EscribiendoCine ... Examines with surgical precision the complexity of relationships through a particular narrative.
