Oyster Farmer Reviews
Seattle Times
Ted Fry
There's just a little too much prettiness and plot to compete with all the eccentric behavior of the background population.
New York Daily News
Jami Bernard
If only you could shuck away the humdrum shell of a story about a guy who steals money and hides out among the local river workers, you might have an interesting documentary about shellfish.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
While her cast is talented, Reeves doesn't concentrate long enough on any plotline or character to build viewer interest.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
... the plot takes some unlikely turns along familiar romantic rough waters.
New York Times
Laura Kern
This darkly humorous, sometimes even raunchy film mostly eludes a typical cutesy, feel-good formula.
TV Guide
Ken Fox
Reeves' debut feature follows a meandering but scenic course, much like the serpentine Hawkesbury River that serves as its beautiful locale.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Something of an afterthought, but it's a lovely excursion while it lasts.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
Love blooms when we least expect it to and we must be ready for it with open hearts and a willingness to step into the dark.
TheMovieChicks.com
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone
I think maybe this movie was harvested before its time because, just like an oyster, it blows its juice too soon and then it's pretty much worthless after that.
Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Fails to overcome its hokey script and cliched characterizations.
Variety
Richard Kuipers
A well-observed study of outsiders distinguished by precise performances from a well-cast ensemble.
Observer
Rex Reed
As an uplifting, enriching series of tableaux of village life in a remote part of the world that few of us will ever experience firsthand, it is never overplayed, but rather beautifully executed by director and cast alike.
Village Voice
Matt Singer
Writer-director Anna Reeves seems to expect an audience already proficient in marine biology and never clarifies any of the indecipherable mollusk jargon. Aw, shucks.
Film Journal International
Maria Garcia
Reeves discovers an allegory for the ebb and flow of life in these uncertain times.
