The A.V. ClubAlex LeiJul 31, 2025
Harvest is a film about capitalism, at first quietly and then like a blunt object to the skull. Simmering beneath that ultimate disruption, though, is a sense of communal collapse that is already creeping under everything. Read full review

The Film VerdictDeborah YoungSep 14, 2024
Fortunately, Harvest recounts this pre-historical fall from grace not as dry socio-economic history, but as a sort of universal myth. Read full review

The New York TimesAlissa WilkinsonJul 31, 2025
Harvest, which takes place over one week’s time, is gorgeous and strange and a bit winding, though not unpleasantly so. Read full review

VarietyGuy LodgeSep 14, 2024
Tsangari’s vigorous, yeasty period piece occasionally loses the thread of its sprawling ensemble narrative, but transfixes as a whole-sackcloth immersion into another time and place. Read full review

Screen DailyWendy IdeSep 14, 2024
This is pungent filmmaking which creates a world steeped in superstition, ritual and folk-magic. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterLeslie FelperinSep 14, 2024
Harvest stands strong and tall, a work solid as an oak. Full of a sensual love of nature and a distinctive vibe, it’s tangy like a home-brewed ale. Read full review

The TelegraphRobbie CollinSep 14, 2024
One of those films whose plot and texture are entirely inseparable. Read full review

Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerAug 7, 2025
There’s a profound mournfulness to this elegiac portrait of the end of an era, given greater poignancy by Jones’ understated performance. Read full review

RogerEbert.comKatie RifeAug 1, 2025
Saying that it makes these concepts “fun” or “accessible” is an overstatement, as “Harvest” can feel interminable even when a viewer is engaged with its ideas. But it does bring them to vivid, even bawdy, life. Read full review

IndieWireSophie Monks KaufmanSep 14, 2024
Although made up of many mesmerizing moving parts, “Harvest” ends up as feeling less than the sum of these. There are sparks of what makes an Athina Rachel Tsangari film great within this impressionistic period fable, even if — unlike the fires that bookend the film — it never fully takes the blaze.

The Film StageSavina PetkovaSep 14, 2024
Harvest operates on the level of humanism and micro-history, conjuring the feeling it’s possible to inhabit a lost past––even for a little bit––as if it was a myth, before we made the crushing reality that eventually overtook our present and future. Read full review

Slant MagazineKeith UhlichSep 23, 2024
The film is a handsomely mounted production in which much of the filth feels stage-managed. Read full review

Film ThreatAlex SavelievAug 29, 2025
This is pure cinematic meditation, requiring a surrender to its languid tempo and hallucinatory vibes. Read full review

The New YorkerRichard BrodyAug 8, 2025
Tsangari’s view of her world is blocked by her ideas; she is so concerned with what she has to say that she doesn’t see what she’s not showing. Read full review

The Irish TimesTara BradyJul 18, 2025
Like the village it depicts, the film is meticulously crafted yet oddly two-dimensional: a map, not a place. Read full review

The PlaylistMarshall ShafferSep 14, 2024
The film’s lack of character development might not appear so evident were it not in such stark contrast with all the other elements of “Harvest.” Read full review

The GuardianPeter BradshawSep 14, 2024
The ploddingly unvaried pace and undirected, underpowered performances make this an exasperating experience: a directionless, shallow movie which seems bafflingly unconvincing and inauthentic at every turn. Read full review
