Alcarràs Ratings & Reviews
Rolling Stone
K. Austin Collins
Simón is attentive to the family as a complex unit, depicting it as a thriving mesh of personalities that do not all agree, but which are all bent toward the common ends of labor and survival, like the fibers comprising a muscle.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
The film's uneven narrative momentum is offset by its stylish visuals and subtle charms, which enable this poignant salute to a dwindling lifestyle to carry a universal resonance.
RogerEbert.com
Carlos Aguilar
A subtly heartsore portrait of shared crisis.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
Movies about the people who grow our food, who struggle as honest land stewards in a time of heartless industry, are few and far between, making "Alcarràs" a rare gem.
New York Times
Devika Girish
The film is a flurry of chatter and labor - picking, digging, lifting, hunting - that drives home the centrality of the farm to the family's sense of time and togetherness.
The Weekend Warrior (Substack)
Edward Douglas
Quite an enjoyable film, mainly due to the cast of characters Ms. Simón pulled together, particularly the kids.
Screen Queens
Cathy Brennan
Alcarràs begins with a scene of rambunctious children, and thus my threshold for irritation is lowered.
The Film Experience
Christopher James
Alcarràs understands that familial fractures are less about big blowups and more about observed slights, decades long resentment and golden age thinking.
Next Best Picture
Daniel Howat
Having a seemingly idyllic existence interrupted by forces outside of your control is a compelling, pervasive idea. Simòn taps into that fear well, even if she's more successful at observing people than telling a compelling story.
Nashville Scene
Jason Shawhan
It's something special, equally charming and wrenching.
The Film Experience
Nathaniel Rogers
Carla Simon's movie is beautifully observed throughout with some sequences and shots that are still haunting. Still I admit I missed the tautness and potency that economically shaped and scripted dramas starring professional actors can often have.
The Film Experience
Jason Adams
There are moments of pure joy still to be had across this final summer, ones which Simón renders with an unhurriedly luxurious gaze where you can feel the dirt, smell the food, sense the sun warm on your skin.
Reverse Shot
Susannah Gruder
It's an overly studied exercise in the hands-off school of naturalism that lacks the verve of forebears like Lucrecia Martel and Dominga Sotomayor Castillo.
Screen Slate
Maxwell Paparella
So renowned for her naturalistic treatment of early childhood in Summer 1993, Simón shows range here, demonstrating her faculty too with the aged, the adult, and the adolescent.
The Playlist
Rafaela Sales Ross
In its expert blend of vivid cinematography and naturalistic performances, "Alcarràs" creates a refined study of heritage that understands life's permanent absence of resolution with every hard-earned answer comes to a new riddle.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Things seem authentic, thanks to the non-professional actors.
IndieWire
David Ehrlich
Driven less by plot than sense of place, Alcarràs draws its sucker-punch of shuddering power from the ambient details that lend that home its history.
Slant Magazine
Pat Brown
As a tribute to farmers' way of life, it's effective and at times moving, but as an exposé of the potential losses that a business-centric green revolution is in the process of incurring, it wants for a stiffer punch.
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
While the narrative might have benefited from more robust shaping and momentum, this is a heartfelt drama about the wrenching clash between traditional agriculture and industry.
Variety
Guy Lodge
Catalan writer-director Carla Simón confirms the promise of her debut 'Summer 1993' in this poignant, rippling study of an extended family being forced off their farm.
