Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The Field is a movie that all too often reveals its origins as a play.
– Vincent Canby,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
rotten:
As overwrought as [My Left Foot] was understated.
– Peter Travers,
Rolling Stone,
12 May 2001
rotten:
A painfully overwrought combination of A Touch of the Poet and Zorba the Greek.
– Eve Zibart,
Washington Post,
1 Jan 2000
rotten:

– Rita Kempley,
Washington Post,
1 Jan 2000
rotten:
The Field is a grim allegory of hard life on the land -- a symbolic play, transplanted uneasily to the greater realism of the film medium, where what we might accept on the stage now looks contrived and artificial.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
1 Jan 2000
