Movie Reviews of American Farm
Movie Review: Captivating
Summary: 5 Stars
This film takes you back to a time--no, make that a vanishing moment in our very own time. I challenge you to swap one day of your rushed, grasping existence for one day on this dairy farm, where the land, animals, and a family have mutual supported each other for eleven decades in Upstate New York. And if you spend that day, you might just choose it for life. It would depend on the day you arrived. It might be a day all gold and green in May, or a day all gold and brown in October. Arrive in August, the crops are gold, and you must gather every bit of that gold into the barn. Arrive in February, and your life depends on whatever gold is left in the haymow.
Robert Frost told us that "nothing gold can stay." And sadly, that is true of the family farms of America. This video captures a family in the aching process of letting go. The film captures the convergence of the end of a way of life--happening to hundreds of thousands of families--and the dynamics of one particular family. You will be astonished by the honesty. You'll be enchanted by the vistas of Upstate New York, where some of the country's least known natural beauty lies. The music will linger on your mind. American Farm is a treasure.
Summary of American Farm
In this moving portrait of a vanishing way of life, a heartland family struggles to hold onto a small dairy farm. With extraordinary candor and heartbreaking intimacy, this poignant documentary brings to light the true story of an American family: their hopes and dreams, their triumphs over tragedy, the modern conflicts that divide them and the love that binds them together.Similar DVD Movies
