Top critics, in their words

While the climax of Beneath the Harvest Sky is a jumble of crosscutting, thunderstorms, and an inconveniently collapsing house, the movie never loses the pulse of people and tragedies it knows too well.

For all its missteps, the film feels authentic. Through thick and thin, it stubbornly maintains a thorny integrity.
