Synopsis

From acclaimed actress Robin Wright comes her directorial debut LAND, the poignant story of one woman's search for meaning in the vast and harsh American wilderness. Edee (Wright), in the aftermath of an unfathomable event, finds herself unable to stay connected to the world she once knew and in the face of that uncertainty, retreats to the magnificent, but unforgiving, wilds of the Rockies. After a local hunter (Demian Bichir) brings her back from the brink of death, she must find a way to live again.

Consensus

Land's lovely vistas can't compensate for a hollowness at its center.

175282 Marya E. Gates Moviefone Fresh 2024-02-13T03:45:43Z 2024-02-13 03:45:43 Wright and Bichir’s compelling performances, as well as stunning cinematography by Bobby Bukowski, make Land a worthwhile journey from the numbness of loss to the joys of finding peace within.
175283 Nadine Whitney Mr. Movie's Film Blog Fresh 2.5/5 2023-09-17T14:11:51Z 2023-09-17 14:11:51 For director/star Wright this film could have been something significant if she didn’t place herself second to the land she was filming on.
175284 Manuel São Bento MSB Reviews (Ghost.io) Fresh A- 2023-07-24T19:04:59Z 2023-07-24 19:04:59 Land is an outstanding feature directorial debut from Robin Wright, who also delivers one of my favorite performances of hers. An incredibly inspirational film that relies on its unforgettable visuals and an extremely engaging score.
175285 Alessandra Rangel InSession Film Rotten C 2023-03-15T20:23:50Z 2023-03-15 20:23:50 With Land, Robin Wright makes a noble attempt of presenting a sensible story about loss and endurance. Nevertheless, a weak script prevents it from happening.
175286 M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut Rotten 2.5/5 2022-09-11T07:10:50Z 2022-09-11 07:10:50 Robin Wright’s directorial debut, Land, is an exercise in stoic ambivalence. The problem is her film tips its hand too early and often; leaving little for its audience to care about and hang onto through the picture.
175287 Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies Fresh 4/5 2022-08-17T21:50:42Z 2022-08-17 21:50:42 Wright describes her film as being about “resilience in the face of adversity“. It’s also a delicate study on the crushing effects of unchecked grief and an examination of both physical and emotional isolation.
175288 Josh Parham Next Best Picture Rotten 5/10 2022-06-05T01:14:10Z 2022-06-05 01:14:10 Wright's talents as an actor far outweigh her abilities as a director.
175289 George Fenwick The Post NZ Fresh 2021-11-05T20:50:59Z 2021-11-05 20:50:59 The film is nothing to write home about... but the locations are magnificent, and Wright gives it her all, delivering a fine performance alongside her helming duties.
175290 Ernesto Diezmartinez Cine Vértigo Rotten 1/4 2021-10-26T15:30:17Z 2021-10-26 15:30:17 A bland melodrama about a woman who isolates herself in the mountains of Wyoming to seek to survive a certain personal trauma. Impeccable landscape photography, good performances and a real waste of time.
175291 Sr. Rose Pacatte St. Anthony Messenger Fresh 2021-08-27T17:30:23Z 2021-08-27 17:30:23 The stunning cinematography of Land creates a contemplative space for this study in contrasts about people dealing with grief.
175292 Jane Freebury The Canberra Times (Australia) Rotten 2/5 2021-08-23T00:40:10Z 2021-08-23 00:40:10 For all the conviction provided by Wright, usually excellent, it locks us out, leaving the audience struggling to understand while the adventure flags and becomes repetitive
175293 Hilary A White Sunday Independent (Ireland) Fresh 4/5 2021-08-20T22:10:26Z 2021-08-20 22:10:26 Wright is wonderful in the lead and good as a director, and the cinematography is exquisite.
175294 Robin Holabird KUNR (Reno, NV) Fresh 2021-07-16T19:10:52Z 2021-07-16 19:10:52 Land comes across in a more understated manner, partly because it ultimately deals with grief and forgiveness. Low key and heartfelt, Land proves fully grounded as a well-made, sensitive little film.
175295 Aviva Dove-Viebahn Ms. Magazine Fresh 2021-06-24T20:41:01Z 2021-06-24 20:41:01 Land is a measured film with a well-worn plot, and yet it still harbors some beautiful moments of mourning, crisis and uplift.
175296 Mark Kermode Kermode & Mayo's Film Review Rotten 2021-06-23T18:20:20Z 2021-06-23 18:20:20 I expected something interesting and artistic. I got something that looks nice but is utterly predictable.
175297 Trevor Johnston Radio Times Fresh 4/5 2021-06-17T23:32:47Z 2021-06-17 23:32:47 The result holds few narrative surprises, yet offers a quietly moving, solidly satisfying take on the rewards and challenges of going it alone.
175298 Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall Fresh 3/5 2021-06-11T17:00:17Z 2021-06-11 17:00:17 With a spectacular mountain setting and a committed central performance, this film remains watchable even if it's underpowered.
175299 Gemma Creagh Film Ireland Magazine Fresh 2021-06-08T20:30:11Z 2021-06-08 20:30:11 Overall, Land is a solid and timely film. Celebrating themes of redemption and human resilience, it captures the essence of the moment with no frills or fanfare.
175300 Irene Crespo Cinemanía (Spain) Fresh 3.5/5 2021-06-08T17:30:18Z 2021-06-08 17:30:18 An almost silent drama that opens with color and beauty as [Robin Wright's] character is able to open her eyes to her reality, to her chosen loneliness. [Full review in Spanish]
175301 Adam Solomons HeyUGuys Rotten 2/5 2021-06-08T11:40:07Z 2021-06-08 11:40:07 Drab, uninspired directorial debut doesn't offer anything in the way of excitement.
175302 Matthew Bond The Mail on Sunday (UK) Fresh 3/5 2021-06-07T07:10:08Z 2021-06-07 07:10:08 This isn't heading where you are thinking but it's well acted, features stunning landscapes and has a powerful last lap.
175303 Tom Shone Sunday Times (UK) Fresh 3/5 2021-06-07T07:00:07Z 2021-06-07 07:00:07 In danger of being merely a picturesque exploration of grief, Land turns out to be something more interesting: a blunt, sturdy picture about the saving of a life.
175304 Kevin Maher The Times (UK) Rotten 2/5 2021-06-07T06:40:06Z 2021-06-07 06:40:06 [A]ll the dilemmas here - from bear attacks to food shortages - are entirely free of jeopardy and simply exist to provide our director-star with another chance to stage swoon-worthy photo ops by the wood-burner.
175305 Simran Hans Observer (UK) Rotten 2/5 2021-06-06T13:30:03Z 2021-06-06 13:30:03 Wright is sympathetic and believable, but we never truly get a sense of Edee or her desires outside the bounds of her loss.
175306 Harry Guerin RTÉ (Ireland) Fresh 4/5 2021-06-05T10:50:07Z 2021-06-05 10:50:07 The backdrop is beautiful, the acting just as special.

175308 Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) Rotten 2/5 2021-06-04T10:50:09Z 2021-06-04 10:50:09 Land will give you a craving to be in the great outdoors, maybe before it's even over.
175309 Pamela Hutchinson Empire Magazine Rotten 2/5 2021-06-04T10:30:09Z 2021-06-04 10:30:09 In her directorial debut, Robin Wright boldly strikes out for new territory, but the film is all too conventionally fenced in, lacking a narrative as compelling as its own dramatic Wyoming scenery.
175310 Deirdre Molumby entertainment.ie Fresh 3.5/5 2021-06-03T14:10:09Z 2021-06-03 14:10:09 At under 90 minutes long, Land is a short, sweet, and stirring watch, even if it's not not overly eventful.
175311 Emma Simmonds The List Fresh 3/5 2021-06-01T10:40:05Z 2021-06-01 10:40:05 There are a few on the nose emotional notes and there's a touch of predictability as Land draws to a close, but it's a stirring and encouraging start to Wright's career as a feature director.
175312 Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Rotten 2/4 2021-05-14T23:20:19Z 2021-05-14 23:20:19 A muted motion picture that never manages to gain any traction.
175313 Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) Fresh 3.5/5 2021-05-12T11:10:11Z 2021-05-12 11:10:11 The one abiding mystery at the heart of Land is enough to keep you watching intently throughout.
175314 Andrew Kendall Stabroek News Fresh 2021-05-11T04:10:06Z 2021-05-11 04:10:06 It's a compelling debut feature from Wright the director, and an even better vehicle for Wright the actress.
175315 Luke Buckmaster Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Rotten 2021-05-04T08:40:04Z 2021-05-04 08:40:04 Land is far from terrible but contains a frustrating tension between lightness of touch and explicit heavy-handedness.
175316 Sarah Ward Concrete Playground Fresh 2021-05-03T21:10:22Z 2021-05-03 21:10:22 Wright's internalised performance is phenomenal, and although its final act moves too quickly, this is always a compassionate, poignant and affecting film.
175317 Damien Straker Impulse Gamer Rotten 2/5 2021-04-30T12:50:16Z 2021-04-30 12:50:16 While visually impressive, Land is marred by a lack of personal conflict and a terrible screenplay.

175319 Graeme Tuckett The Post NZ Fresh 4/5 2021-04-29T18:50:17Z 2021-04-29 18:50:17 Land is a slight and quietly beautiful film.

175321 Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald Fresh 3/5 2021-04-28T18:30:14Z 2021-04-28 18:30:14 It's a welcome touch of light-heartedness and it confirms Bichir's ability to make you care what happens next, no matter how far-fetched.

175325 Robert Denerstein Denerstein Unleashed Rotten 2021-04-20T23:40:08Z 2021-04-20 23:40:08 Land never seems to gather the kind of thematic momentum that would have justified Edee's battle with unforgiving nature.
175326 Wendy Shreve Featuring Film Fresh 2021-03-27T14:10:03Z 2021-03-27 14:10:03 Nature's wonders, beautiful but treacherous, provide a welcome a respite, a meaningful silence for the viewer just as it does for Edee.

175328 Beth Accomando KPBS.org Fresh 2021-03-16T00:10:09Z 2021-03-16 00:10:09 The performances are honest and compelling, and the journey feels intimately rendered even if the script falls into some tropes about the city person trying to make it on her own in the wilds.
175329 Mark Jackson Epoch Times Fresh 3.5/5 2021-03-12T23:50:24Z 2021-03-12 23:50:24 The point of wilderness survival for early Native-Americans was to get the hunting, trapping, fishing, etc, to become second nature, so as to have enough time to get to the spiritual stuff. Robin Wright's character in "Land" gets to the spiritual stuff.
175330 Peter Canavese Celluloid Dreams Rotten 2/4 2021-03-11T22:00:29Z 2021-03-11 22:00:29 Possessing all the character depth of a not-very-good paperback romance novel, 'Land's' gorgeous location photography hardly compensates for its very basic emotional manipulations. Robin Wright's onscreen presence, however, does make this tolerable.
175331 Amy Nicholson FilmWeek (LAist) Fresh 2021-03-10T11:20:13Z 2021-03-10 11:20:13 I wasn't really moved by this story, but I did respect it's granular, day-by-day storytelling.

175337 Lisa Trifone Third Coast Review Fresh 2.5/4 2021-03-06T20:30:17Z 2021-03-06 20:30:17 As a rumination on processing grief and finding one's way back to life, the film is mostly successful at being something interesting and thoughtful...
175338 Candice McMillan Seattle Refined Rotten 2021-03-05T22:10:12Z 2021-03-05 22:10:12 Themes of recovering from tragedy and surviving a fatal dose of grief flutter throughout, though we find, by film's end, that we along with Edee are yearning for human interaction and... meaning.
175339 Anne Brodie What She Said Fresh 2021-03-05T20:30:09Z 2021-03-05 20:30:09 It's painful, bleak, and shockingly beautiful, a true grieving esthete's meditation on life and loss . It's not easy, but it's soul-stirring.
175340 Kim Hughes Original Cin Fresh 2021-03-05T13:40:11Z 2021-03-05 13:40:11 Wright's directorial debut is beautiful to watch but the story is sluggish and not especially unique in concept.
175341 Sandie Angulo Chen Common Sense Media Fresh 4/5 2021-03-04T19:30:16Z 2021-03-04 19:30:16 This quiet, surprisingly impactful drama is lovingly performed and directed by the talented Wright.

175348 Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue Rotten 2021-02-19T16:00:11Z 2021-02-19 16:00:11 As a portrait of grief and resilience, the heartfelt directorial debut of actress Robin Wright ultimately lacks the authenticity to earn the sympathy it seeks.
175349 Robert W. Butler Butler's Cinema Scene Fresh B- 2021-02-19T02:20:19Z 2021-02-19 02:20:19 At its most poignant the Land is about the need for human contact, even among those of us who fiercely deny that impulse. But even if the message gets muddled, there's always something gorgeous to look at.
175350 Tom Meek Cambridge Day Rotten 2.5/4 2021-02-18T22:30:33Z 2021-02-18 22:30:33 The film becomes an internal odyssey as Edee steels up and learns a new way of life; the vistas are captivating, the human drama could have been more so.
175351 Sarah Marrs Lainey Gossip Fresh 2021-02-18T21:50:26Z 2021-02-18 21:50:26 Land is an effective film, emotionally resonant without pushing manipulative buttons, a spare but beautiful meditation on grief and companionship.
175352 Scott Phillips The Screen Scene Rotten 2021-02-18T21:00:27Z 2021-02-18 21:00:27 The film has the feel of a passion project for Robin Wright, but the passion is missing from the film's screenplay. Why did this project scream to be her directorial debut? The audience will be left wondering as well.
175353 Josh Kupecki Austin Chronicle Rotten 2.5/5 2021-02-18T19:10:14Z 2021-02-18 19:10:14 When, in the final moments of the film, when the last piece of this very lovely looking landscape puzzle is placed, I couldn't help but feel that the film was a missed opportunity for something more intriguing, profound.
175354 James Berardinelli ReelViews Fresh 3/4 2021-02-18T12:40:05Z 2021-02-18 12:40:05 Land is both a tribute to the triumph of the human spirit and an examination of the difficulties of setting aside modern conveniences for primitive survival.

175356 Jon Negroni The Young Folks Rotten 5/10 2021-02-17T16:20:09Z 2021-02-17 16:20:09 It's a massively difficult line to straddle for a first-time director, and Wright misses the mark despite her best efforts.
175357 Alex Bentley CultureMap Fresh 2021-02-16T23:00:22Z 2021-02-16 23:00:22 Land is as worthy of your moviegoing dollar as anything else thanks to two great performances and insightful directing by Robin Wright.

175363 Doug Jamieson The Jam Report Fresh 3.5/5 2021-02-15T05:00:04Z 2021-02-15 05:00:04 A solid directorial debut from Wright, even if it's all just a touch too safe and familiar.

175366 Kevin Carr Fat Guys at the Movies Rotten 2/4 2021-02-13T07:20:12Z 2021-02-13 07:20:12 It is nothing more than an excuse for [Robing Wright] to act. Yes, she does a fine job acting in it, but there's nothing more to it.

175374 Linda and Al Lerner Movies and Shakers Fresh 2021-02-12T21:40:30Z 2021-02-12 21:40:30 Despite a tendency to overuse dramatic closeups, Wright has taken on an enormous challenge and, for the most part this succeeds in showing the importance of human connection. This film couldn't come at a better time.
