IndieWireRyan LattanzioOct 8, 2025
[Martel] makes the case that the Chuschas put up a hard-won, long-won, impossible battle that already began centuries before, coming at the material with a visceral filmmaking point of view that never overshadows the material. Read full review

The New YorkerJustin ChangMay 12, 2026
Our Land is the work of a great filmmaker exploring the boundaries of a relatively unfamiliar form. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleMay 11, 2026
Our Land is the work of a director whose attention is rigorous, whose care is genuine, but who is also conscious of her outsider’s perspective. Read full review

The New York TimesAlissa WilkinsonMay 5, 2026
Drawing attention to the filming technology, Martel implicitly reminds us that Chocobar’s case only came to trial because it was filmed and uploaded to the internet in the first place. Read full review

New York Magazine (Vulture)Alison WillmoreMay 5, 2026
That unnatural quality of drone footage, its ability to pull up off the ground and pivot as if you’re fiddling with Google Earth, is something Martel turns into an asset throughout the film,. Read full review

VarietyGuy LodgeOct 8, 2025
A slow-burning, increasingly incensed unraveling of a horrific murder case underpinned by colonialist privilege and prejudice, it too demands patience of its viewers — though it rewards them with steadily rising emotional impact and a long view of Latin American history that transcends any true-crime trappings.

Structural quibbles aside, “Nuestra Tierra” is a powerful work of reclamation and advocacy for native peoples who have long been disenfranchised and dehumanized by systemic forces in colonial Argentina. Read full review

The A.V. ClubNatalia KeoganSep 9, 2025
Part procedural, part granular portrait of an increasingly silenced demographic, Nuestra Tierra asserts the global scale of Indigenous persecution from its opening shot. Read full review

Screen DailyJonathan RomneyOct 8, 2025
Landmarks may not strictly be the film that admirers of Martel’s formal radicalism have been waiting for: notwithstanding some eccentricities, it is a relatively conventional work. But it’s very much from the heart, and from the political conscience – a critique of colonial history and the enduring abuse of power in Argentina. Read full review

Time OutPhil de SemlyenSep 2, 2025
Martel’s forensic doc shatters any sense that, for her fellow Argentinians, the colonial burden has been lifted. It’s an intimate pinhole camera capturing an IMAX-sized story. Read full review

The film is less a portrait of one martyred man than a mosaic of a resistant community. Read full review
