Wright provides a film of hope and faith with extreme, challenging, and harsh realities and presents them with flawless character and a connection to nature and its healing properties. Read full review

Feb 11, 2021

Wright’s movie is ambitious (that location! that weather!), but not grandiose. Its storytelling economy helps make it credible and eventually moving. Read full review

James Berardinelli

Feb 17, 2021

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. It also represents an announcement by Wright that her first feature foray behind the camera is unlikely to be her last. Read full review

Slashfilm Chris Evangelista

Feb 1, 2021

Tearful confessions and big dramatic beats fail when contrasted with the emotions that swell up from the unblemished beauty of the landscape. It ultimately left me cold and feeling as if Land‘s central drama was unable to compete with nature. Read full review

Feb 12, 2021

Wright is relaxed and almost meditative as she takes in the beauty of the horizon, and her simple directing captures the majesty of nature. Read full review

Screen Rant Mae Abdulbaki

Feb 9, 2021

In Land, actress Robin Wright’s directorial debut, the sad, isolated feelings that come with bereavement saturate the story, but the film has surprisingly very little to say about grief. Read full review

The Guardian Benjamin Lee

Feb 1, 2021

There’s just not enough here to make it a worthwhile retread through familiar territory, proof of Wright’s basic competency as a director but nothing more. Read full review

She’s given admirable support from Mexican-born co-star, Demian Bichir - with the rugged Wyoming locations lovingly captured by cinematographer Bobby Bukowski. This is one for those who are not attempting to hide from reality but want to steep themselves in the everyday truths of life and in this case, life in the land at its wildest.

No superficial love story here but a survival learning curve (suicidal even) chosen by a city woman to overcome a great loss and the unexpected alliances that develop on her journey. Lovers of serious personal introspection will easily tune into this curiosity but it might not suit comic book action fans. Music is also well used, adding another dimension to the settings.

An afterthought: Without the Animals of the forests, survival is never guaranteed; it would have been powerful if the script included some appreciation towards these marvelous creatures for the sacrifice of their lives. Note: If not yet having seen this movie but intending to do so, skip the following last line to avoid a possible spoiler: This woman lost her family to the mindless actions of a random shooter, so her use of the gun for hunting would have had profound implications.… Expand

When a woman's life falls apart, she's at a loss to repair it or to share her pain with others, circumstances that prompt her to emotionally and physically withdraw and, subsequently, to move to the Wyoming wilderness, a place where she can choose to live -- or not -- despite theWhen a woman's life falls apart, she's at a loss to repair it or to share her pain with others, circumstances that prompt her to emotionally and physically withdraw and, subsequently, to move to the Wyoming wilderness, a place where she can choose to live -- or not -- despite the intervention of Samaritans who want to help and give her hope. Actress Robin Wright's feature film directorial debut tells this heart-tugging story capably, even if somewhat conventionally and with character development that definitely could have benefitted from supplemental strengthening. Nevertheless, thanks to Wright's strong lead performance, stunning cinematography, nicely sustained pacing and a solid finish, this offering certainly shines in the areas where it matters most. This may not be earth-shattering filmmaking, but it's certainly an impressive start to a budding career.… Expand
