Critics Consensus

Its diffuse storytelling sometimes dulls its considerable power, yet with rich period detail and a sharp political lens, Harvest remains an evocative and melancholy chronicle of a vanishing rural world.

This is no pastoral romance; on the contrary, it is a film steeped in the darkest impulses, the despair implicit in the natural world’s cosmic disregard for our fates and the cruelty inherent in human nature.

Harvest is a sprawling, atmospheric film.

“Harvest” is fundamentally a work of political cinema, a social archeology of the emergence of capitalism—of the depravities of modern economics and the inherent injustices of its legal premises.

7/10

Fire, violence, and cruelty abound as these elements collide to force each party to look inward and take stock of their strength and loyalty amidst the uncertainty of their survival.

Enthralling ... Tsangari’s wild and unruly, woozy work of pure golden oddity, spun in 16mm by Good Time cinematographer Sean Price Williams, would be almost achingly sad, exposing the heart of dastardliness, if it weren’t wrought with so much wonder.

Harvest seems to draw inspiration from these studies of cults, but also dials things down and stretches them out, all in the mood, atmosphere, and style.

With folk horror elements, only without the ‘horror’ part, Harvest is a very attractive film to look at, making great use of its lush landscapes and complete lack of evident civilisation. I get the feeling that the director worked out the shots before the themes, because it’s a strangely weightless film, treating its subject matter with the kind of flippancy that makes it hard to take anything you’re seeing seriously. I like Caleb Landry Jones but his character is so passive that he always feels like a passenger rathe than a participant. None of my criticisms are severe, but none of my compliments are very strong either. It could have been much more impactful if the screenplay had been tighter, the characters more interesting and the conflict more impactful. As it stands, it’s a very beautiful but very average movie.

A very well acted, moody, creepy, unsettling but also interesting period drama for the first half. Then this overlong drama loses focus and I checked out. I always do love Caleb Landry Jones and he is great again here.

Great adaptation of an incredible book. Successfully created the feeling of a community at ease with itself being confronted/torn apart by new things arriving. Very good acting and sense of place. Loved it.

Beautiful cinematography and great acting, squandered by a meandering narrative which, for the most part, really doesn't end up being worth your time.

Slow, and not in a good way. It's not even a slow burn, it's just slow. To call it a horror, or to reference it as being in that genre, is misleading. Folk horror works when it's done well, this is just a rambling story about land ownership. I don't get the hype.
