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

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

Robin Wright's character in "Land" gets to the spiritual stuff. |

Robin Wright's onscreen presence, however, does make this tolerable. |

| 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. |

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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |
| 175358 | Cynthia Vinney | CBR | Fresh | — | 2021-02-16T19:00:26Z | 2021-02-16 19:00:26 | Land speaks to the healing power of nature and the value of nonjudgmental kindness but doesn't manage to fully convey the emotional depths of the story. |
| 175359 | Dennis Schwartz | Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews | Fresh | B | 2021-02-16T09:20:08Z | 2021-02-16 09:20:08 | It might be a minor film, but it was crafted well. |

| 175361 | Dan Buffa | KSDK News (St. Louis) | Fresh | B+ | 2021-02-15T18:50:17Z | 2021-02-15 18:50:17 | Wright claims a spot as a director to keep a firm eye on. Her vision behind the camera is exceptional for a first-time filmmaker. |
| 175362 | Sean Collier | Box Office Prophets | Rotten | 6/10 | 2021-02-15T17:00:14Z | 2021-02-15 17:00:14 | Land is beautiful and atmospheric. Its chief character, however, isn't credible. |
| 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. |
| 175364 | J. Don Birnam | Splash Report | Fresh | B | 2021-02-13T17:50:07Z | 2021-02-13 17:50:07 | This straight-forward but beautifully shot film about a woman finding a will to live is a promising debut by director Robin Wright |
| 175365 | John Urbancich | Your Movies (cleveland.com) | Rotten | 2/5 | 2021-02-13T17:10:07Z | 2021-02-13 17:10:07 | First-time director Wright's efforts behind a feature film camera suffer from lots of silence and -- except for those undeniably showy gifts of nature -- little energy in a story we have seen played before with more vibrancy and less predictability. |
| 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. |
| 175368 | Richard Roeper | Chicago Sun-Times | Fresh | 3/4 | 2021-02-13T02:40:21Z | 2021-02-13 02:40:21 | We eventually learn certain details about Miguel's life and I'll say no more other than this: For those who believe everything happens for a reason, nobody in the world was better suited to find Edee than Miguel. |

| 175372 | Paul McGuire Grimes | KSTP-TV (St. Paul, MN) | Fresh | 3.5/5 | 2021-02-13T00:10:30Z | 2021-02-13 00:10:30 | A lovely, touching story about acts of kindness and how the strangers in our lives can have the biggest impact. |

This film couldn't come at a better time. |
| 175376 | Jonathan W. Hickman | The Newnan Times-Herald | Fresh | 6/10 | 2021-02-12T21:00:24Z | 2021-02-12 21:00:24 | Consistent with its protagonist, "Land" presents a guarded, ambiguous, and naive narrative. |

| 175381 | Mark Meszoros | The News-Herald (Willoughby, OH) | Fresh | 3/4 | 2021-02-12T17:10:14Z | 2021-02-12 17:10:14 | Starring in the film and sharing only a handful of scenes with other actors, Wright shows a delicate touch in the director's chair and is as responsible as anyone for the way Land affects you. |
