Movie Reviews

Portland Oregonian - 10/10 by Shawn LevyWe've seen documentaries with more daring themes, greater drama, sharper craft and timelier subject matter. But few have been as affecting as The Real Dirt on Farmer John.
Newsday - 9/10 by Jan StuartWhat a blessing this film is, for everyone who's chosen the road less taken, and even perhaps for anyone who's stood in their way.
Capital Times (Madison, WI) - 9/10 by Rob ThomasHe has the rough hands of a hard-working farmer but the soul of a reflective poet, and he brings both to bear in telling his story.
Offoffoff - 9/10 by Joshua TanzerIf we were better people than we are, we'd all be interested in a documentary about the difficulties of farming life - and the central character wouldn't have to be a cross-dressing, movie-making, play-writing, hippie-loving free spirit.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertThis is a loving, moving, inspiring, quirky documentary that was made while the lives it records were being lived.
L.A. Weekly - 8/10 by Ella TaylorIt’s fascinating that this portrait of the rise, fall and rise of Midwestern organic farmer John Peterson can be read in so many different ways, only some of which appear intentionally in Taggart Siegel’s sympathetic documentary about his friend and fellow artist.
Village Voice - 8/10 by Julia WallaceAt times, the film plays like an extended infomercial for John's new company, Angelic Organics, but the agrarian fantasy is so compelling here that the revitalization of the American family farm begins to seem not just possible, but probable.
The New York Times - 8/10 by Jeannette CatsoulisOffers one man's extraordinary life as a gateway to a larger history of tragedy and transition. It's an unflinching account of what farming takes -- and, more important, what it gives back.
New Zealand Herald - 8/10 by Peter CalderIt also, not incidentally, an inspiring vision of the way forward for food production, a portrait of what Peterson calls "a dead farm coming back to life". After reading The Omnivore's Dilemma, it may be just the antidote you need.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kevin CrustThough its title suggests an exposé on Dodger Dogs, the movie is the moving, inspirational account of John Peterson's discovery of an almost divine calling in the land beneath his feet.
