As an old farmer's strength fades, who will inherit the land he loves? His daughter knows farming but lacks sacrifice, while his son sees only property value. As they bicker, will the farmer's lifelong devotion to the land be lost, or will someone rise to continue his legacy?

Leslie Felperin

Guardian

Exceptional as Kinnear and Beecham may be as actors, their spiels here sound over-rehearsed, which deadens the emotional impact of what might have been a bold, fresh approach to the drama.

Rated: 3/5

Film Threat

Brave and unique The Old Man and the Land may be, and there is a lot here to admire, still I was left slightly alienated, and ultimately detached from the whole affair.

Rated: 6/10

Graham Fuller

The Arts Desk

The Old Man and the Land tells a convincing story of a broken family, but the storytelling is infinitely stronger than the images, which become the visual equivalent of background noise.

Rated: 3/5
