Critics' reviews

"[It] feels like the mainstream equivalent of a Kelly Reichardt movie (...) a directorial debut so pure and simple it speaks to enormous self-confidence"

Peter Debruge: Variety
"Quietly heart-wrenching and keenly observed (...) Robin Wright's first time at the helm of a feature, poses some of life's starkest questions with a simple, elemental force, and with deep wells of compassion"

Sheri Linden: The Hollywood Reporter
"It would be nice to see Wright work from a stronger script next time, but she rises above the limitations admirably (...) 'Land' offers simple lessons and stunning landscapes"

Elizabeth Weitzman: The Wrap
"Mourning takes all shapes, grief has no timeline, and pain is as personal, but 'Land' grapples so uneasily with such heady topics that the result is the total absence of new insights"

Kate Erbland: IndieWire
"It’s a smart, moving piece of work, hampered a bit by a rushed final act that feels somewhat manipulative but confidently acted throughout (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

Brian Tallerico: rogerebert.com
"A curious little survival movie, straightforward but occasionally inexplicable."

Mary Sollosi: Entertainment Weekly
"Land may not be particularly deep, but not every indie drama has to be complex and layered if it hits the right emotional notes. In her first movie behind the camera, Wright plays those notes like an old pro."
