Seeds Ratings & Reviews
Shade Studios
Marissa Hill
What truly sets Seeds apart is its exploration of the broader theme of entrepreneurship. The film showcases not just the hardships of farming, but the entrepreneurial spirit required to keep these farms afloat in the face of adversity.

A stunningly shot documentary

There is no part of "Seeds" that doesn't feel like a priceless heirloom, like a window into a critical cultural history that must be maintained or lest be permanently lost.
Rolling Stone
David Fear
It's a work of political activism through sheer lyricism.
Screen Zealots
Louisa Moore
While small moments are beautifully captured in stunning black-and-white, I found myself wishing for more direction or insight. This meditative documentary might not be the most accessible or engaging for viewers who prefer a more structured narrative.

Invites you into the homes and onto the fields of stalwart Black farmers.
The Playlist
Christian Gallichio
"Seeds" may be indebted to the elder subjects that Shyne centralizes, but it's also a film that dares to look forward, suggesting that - despite everything - these farms will continue.
Moveable Fest
Stephen Saito
A landmark all on its own.
Collider
Jason Gorber
Brittany Shyne's Seeds is a moving, bucolic documentary that unfolds in ways both subtle and overt, navigating a liminal space where the ghosts of past traumas amplify the tenacity of those still there.
Variety
Lisa Kennedy
Director Brittany Shyne's debut feature feels elegiac. A requiem is not the filmmaker's intention, however. With the patience of a sower, Shyne lets the lives of her subjects unfold gently over two hours.
Next Best Picture
Cody Dericks
There is no visual discrepancy between now and what came before, it all melds together with a unified sense of timelessness. "Seeds" takes audiences to a world built upon a base of tradition that needs support and attention to continue.
The Film Stage
John Fink
It's utterly moving for the next generation to have this beautiful record of their family legacy. Seeds is a film that lives and breathes as we absorb the wisdom of these elders.
Filmmaker Magazine
Vadim Rizov
While it's refreshing that Seeds doesn't embrace the artificial structure of a "fight for justice"... that determined anti-sensationalism also works against the political urgency which moves from background to foreground over the running time.
POV Magazine
Courtney Small
A captivating meditation on the challenges of maintaining a legacy, Seeds plants its poetic roots in the unwavering perseverance of Black farmers and the generational bonds that fuel them.
RogerEbert.com
Zachary Lee
"Seeds" isn't just a stunning portrait of the people who labor not only to feed the world. It's also about a lifestyle that runs counterintuitive to the exploitative forces in which many of us live our lives.
IndieWire
Esther Zuckerman
You have to orient yourself to the slow rhythms of the piece, which encourage you to relish in these quiet moments. But it's an incredibly rewarding journey, a film indebted to the past that feels brilliantly alive.
Black Girl Nerds
Catalina Combs
'Seeds' depict the complexity of everyday life by focusing on personal stories and cultural patterns of values, beliefs, and behaviors. Seamlessly Shyne weaves in bigger government issues by keeping it as close to home as possible.
InBetweenDrafts
Jon Negroni
Shyne sows her film with poetic imagery and warmth, but the harvest feels thin, as if the deeper story remains buried beneath the surface.
The Hollywood Reporter
Lovia Gyarkye
With Seeds, Shyne helps spotlights the farmer, the mature and the budding, fighting to protect what remains.
