| CinemacyMorgan RojasBeautiful imagery of vast landscapes fill the screen from the very beginning. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Josh TerryIt is a refreshing look at a faraway lifestyle that embodies some overlooked American values. |
| Paste MagazineShannon M. HoustonAfter a bit of a slow start, Farmland finishes strong as it eventually transforms into a fascinating, emotional narrative with more layers than we might have expected. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerSome of the human-interest stories are compelling, but too much of this film is as dry as a high school classroom presentation. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisSmooth and folksy, it traffics in broad, unchallenged claims that serve a single purpose: to persuade us that the only thing wrong with today’s farming methods is our misinformed perception of them. |
| Village VoiceAaron HillisThere's no drama illustrating the thanklessness of their jobs, and potential wisdom about fiscal instability, animal welfare, or GMOs waft by without much argument. |
| The A.V. ClubJesse HassengerA little of this debunking is cute (“I got nothing against bib overalls or straw hanging out of your mouth,” one of the subjects clarifies about the myths he wants to dispel); the rest of it feels defensive. |
| VarietyBill EdelsteinThough the perspective of farmers is well worth examining, this good-looking 77 minutes of propaganda is heavy on sugar-coating and light on nutritional value. |
| Los Angeles TimesMartin TsaiThe slickly produced documentary Farmland often comes off like lobbyist propaganda, profusely extolling the virtues of the independent American farmer. |
| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansThe farmers interviewed in "Farmland" seem sincere, but the industry's backing raises some troubling credibility questions. |
