      Audience Member The worst movie I have ever seen Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Very lyrical account of 'waiting for Godot' in the Kazakh steppe. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Not an action movie. But showing how the life somewhere in the middle of post-Soviet world can be Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Last year's haunting look at the Cossack steppes by the late Mikhail Kalatozishvili has the feel of an inner journey. The film without being too schematic allows us to emerge ourselves and get a feel for middle-of-nowhere Russian vast lands. It paints a very believable and at times likable picture of the people, yet carries a warning message. Although, the film appears very slow, it is rewarding in the end. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member A doctor in the middle of barely anywhere is made to treat several strange ailments with barely any medicine. Wild Field is so different to Hollywood films. Though really its not, it's just the bare bones of one. It's been starved of drama and clichés, there's no super-happy ending and an interesting lack of strong plotting. Films like this is going to take some getting used for me, but I am open to them. It is watered down Hollywood, but Hollywood has been coming across too strong anyway. I really liked the humour that resulted, its was natural, and light. It didn't have me in stitches, but what's wrong with pleasant chuckles? The film deals with so many key aspects of human nature, ethics, isolation, loneliness, faith, and dependency, is really human. It doesn't feel contrived like a blockbuster, or boring like a documentary, its not dramatic like a drama or as slow as some indie. It finds itself a nice middleground between them all. Wild Field lacks a wow factor, it instead was soft and pleasant and I enjoyed it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member The best movie I've seen. Strange and common, simple and complex... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
