Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Wim Wenders' first fiction featurefeature since 2000's The Million Dollar Hotel, rocky but respectable Land of Plenty proves the helmer often does better with low budgets, fast schedules and young collaborators.

fresh:
It casts a spell of compassionate humanity with a gently healing effect.
– Jeff Shannon,

4 Aug 2006
fresh:
Hampered by an ending that overreaches needlessly, the film is nevertheless worthy and unmistakably the effort of an enduringly distinctive and important filmmaker.
– Kevin Thomas,

fresh:
The flawed, fascinating Land of Plenty is easily Wenders' most vital work in more than a decade.
– Scott Foundas,

rotten:
Wenders handles America's physical landscape with characteristic clarity. But he never gets a handle on the trickier political terrain and so, like Uncle Paul, ends up chasing too many roads to nowhere.
