      Diego Semerene Slant Magazine The sort of gravitas that seems necessary for the most satisfying of French clichés to amount to playful reworkings, not tired repetitions, only makes a few appearances throughout the film. Rated: 2/4 Feb 26, 2023 Full Review Jessica Kiang Variety Garrel is certainly well positioned to provide a crepuscular lament for the passing of old traditions, but “The Plough” is a disappointingly nichey, self-indulgent form for it to have taken. Feb 24, 2023 Full Review Rafaela Sales Ross Little White Lies A nuanced exploration of the dichotomy between legacy and vocation. Feb 23, 2023 Full Review Rory O'Connor The Film Stage A briskly charming, bracingly anachronistic, sometimes achingly sensual film. Rated: B+ Mar 9, 2023 Full Review Sarah Manvel Critic's Notebook It might not look like a radical film, but it really is, since a happy family is an amazing achievement, and the ability to address the newest topics in the oldest ways is a skill to be treasured. Mar 4, 2023 Full Review Vadim Rizov Filmmaker Magazine Those uncannily convincing performances, the result of months of rehearsal and other invisible labors, generate a low-key tension juxtaposed against the larger artifices containing them.
