In 1994, real-life crop artist Stan Herd traveled from Kansas to Manhattan's Upper West Side to create a massive environmental artwork on land owned by Donald Trump. The multi-acre artwork was made from soil, rock, plants and vegetation near an underground railway tunnel. Stan recruited a number of homeless individuals living in the tunnel to become his crew. Over the months it took to complete the earthwork, Stan dealt with a myriad of difficulties in bringing his unique, rural art form to an urban canvas and the many costs his art exacted upon his life. In the process, he unexpectedly encountered the true meaning of his art and it's ultimate, lasting rewards.
Leave your thoughts about Earthwork.
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasA flawless gem, a gentle yet ultimately ironic meditation on the power of art. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)Hawkes is finally getting the great roles he has long deserved. |
| MovieMaker MagazineDan LybargerIt's a rare film that makes viewers love a fellow who takes needless chances. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittHawkes is finally getting the great roles he has long deserved. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferAn unchallenging, simplistic drama that's grounded by John Hawkes' genuinely tender and charismatic performance. |
| Village VoiceMark HolcombLike Herd, the movie-which resists peeking above the horizon until its final, poignant skyline shot-strives for a connection with land and labor typically missing from depictions of urban life, and provides a timely model for finding value in lean circumstances and humble company. |
| NPRIan BuckwalterThese fleeting moments never quite overcome the sense that Earthwork's narrative follows too-familiar templates, and that its characters lack the careful detail of Herd's own art. |
| Time OutDavid FearThe writer-director does have a wonderful eye-a shot of a tractor wheel sticking out of the Hudson River is museumworthy-but his grasp of the melodramatic could use a little more grounding. |
| Scene-Stealers.comEric MelinUltimately, "Earthwork" poses an interesting question. Does the true value of art lie in its creation or the pleasure that others get while viewing it? |
| Ebert Presents At The MoviesIgnatiy VishnevetskyThis is a movie about work and about the satisfaction that a person can find in accomplishing something. |
