Leave your thoughts about Abundant Acreage Available.
| Film InquiryChloe WalkerAbundant Acreage Available may be a small film, but it's a deep and rich one, worthy of your full attention. |
| Wall Street JournalJohn AndersonEach of the five superb actors gets a moment of dramatic glory out of Mr. MacLachlan’s screenplay, which is about guilt, roots and the selfishness of implacable conviction. Each makes the most of it. |
| Entertainment WeeklyDevan CogganAmazingly, this is Ryan's first lead role in a feature film, and although the sparse Abundant Acreage doesn't always rise to her level, her understated but powerful performance brings the story to life - even in the dead of winter. |
| FlavorwireJason BaileyThis is a modest story, but one rooted in big emotions. |
| Movie NationRoger Moore“Acreage” is so embedded in that earth you can taste it, smell the tobacco, cedar and slowly rotting corn stalks on those gently sloping hills. |
| The PlaylistRodrigo PerezA humanist narrative about family, faith, and grief, ‘Acreage’ is an intimate film with few outsized dramatic moments, but as anchored by Amy Ryan’s mannered yet commanding performance—her finest in years—this lovely little story sensitively absorbs. |
| IndiewireEric KohnSet in a single location with a cast of five, the movie offers a lesson in minimalist drama, unfolding as a sharply acted mood piece that never crescendos, but hums along with wise observations and first-rate performances. |
| Village VoiceSerena DonadoniAfter a lifetime of routine punctuated by loss, these aging adults fall back into roles as children and siblings. Treading common ground, they seek comfort in the suffocating succor of family, afraid to release the burdens that grief will unleash. |
| The Film StageJohn FinkFar from a didactic faith-based picture pandering to church groups, Abundant Acreage Available is a simple, yet evocative character study with no easy answer, and it has stayed with me longer than most pictures. |
| VarietyPeter DebrugeIt’s a pleasure to see such a fine actress navigate the nuances of her role. |
