The Tree of Wooden Clogs Reviews
Groucho Reviews
Peter Canavese
It's easy enough to appreciate...as a painterly near-documentary, shot and edited by a director who got his start in documentary films...or a spacious moral fable about humility and trust in following the righteous path. [Criterion Blu-ray]
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
You don't need to have experienced the film's world firsthand to grasp the transparency with which Olmi depicts it, full as it is with simple pleasures, complex emotions, and unadorned heartbreak.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
What I'm suggesting is that this movie should be viewed for its actual visual content, rather than for its noble pretensions.
Cinema Signals
Jules Brenner
The value here is in documenting an example of the small social units and their values that were steps in the evolution to representational government.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Keeps its Marxist message under wraps, and manages never to be either lackluster or thrilling.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
An Italian masterpiece that elegantly and effortlessly depicts the natural rhythms of life in a rural community in the nineteenth century.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
A gentle Catholic counterpoint to angry Marxist peasant cinema acutely aware of harsh economic and social injustices, but devoid of violent revolutionary spirit.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
I found the film most successful when it left its tenant farm setting for a lovely, lyrical boat trip to the big city, the one moment of expansiveness in Olmi's otherwise hermetic narration.
Spectrum Culture
David Harris
A hypnotic look at a way of life that no longer exists.
Cleveland Press
Tony Mastroianni
Fewer movies have been done with greater sensitivity or integrity than The Tree of Wooden Clogs. Surely no three-hour movie has ever seemed so short and I I've seen some half-this length that have seemed to run twice as long.
