Amazingly, this is Ryan's first lead role in a feature film, and although the sparse Abundant Acreage doesn't always rise to her level, her understated but powerful performance brings the story to life - even in the dead of winter. Go to Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times 09/29/2017
The director elects ... to back away from the story's edgier, more unnerving possibilities in favor of something altogether more soggy and formless. Go to Full Review Serena Donadoni Village Voice 09/29/2017
Cinematographer Andrew Reed captures the harsh beauty of post-harvest winter in sharp relief: crunchy stalks left in the field, the sky a crystalline blue. Go to Full Review Elissa Suh MUBI 02/27/2020
MacLachlan has a way of reducing his characters and, by his extension, viewers to children, as a way to keenly elicit our empathies, but at the risk of having his film feel too rudimentary. Go to Full Review Jim Ross TAKE ONE Magazine 02/13/2020
...possesses an endearing lead performance from Amy Ryan, but is too plodding, loquacious and overladen with themes to allow her excellent performance to breathe. Go to Full Review Nathanael Hood Audiences Everywhere 12/27/2018

It might seem deceptively simple and straightforward, but this is a film with great depths that demands attentive rewatches. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

12/04/2020 Exceptionally well-written screenplay with realistic dialog wonderfully delivered by the veteran cast. It's refreshing to see a movie with an original story not trying so hard to drag the audience around the plot on a leash. Thinking about what made the story seem original to me, I recognized the twist on "a stranger comes to town" which sets the plot in motion after a highly emotional and touching opening. This story would have worked as well as a stage play, but the directing and scenery added so much to the sense of place which turns out to be the primary symbol hiding in plain sight. I highly recommend this film for a literate audience. See more 03/24/2018 imho... ryans performance was noteworthy but the rest of the cast seemed to be bumbling through.... the moments that were supposed to be poignant were not. .. a yawner. See more 10/11/2017 Beautiful & poignant film. Highly Recommend! See more 09/28/2017 I'm from the area, and this portrait is spot-on. I lovely meditation on legacy, land, and life.
