Kana J @RT01323032 12/11/2024 I never said I saw the movie! I just love how rottentomatoes let's anyone in with internet connection write a review. It's democracy in its most fashionable form ;) See more jane a @RT98202062 01/07/2024 The worst movie I have ever seen. Seen quite a few art house/festival/foreign movies but this was The most excruciatingly boring movie I have ever seen. Nothing happened. Then nothing happened. I can't believe this was ever put to screening to the public See more Raphael G @raphagimenes 09/19/2023 Carla Simón does it again. Creating a world with such an atmosphere. And so sad.

See more Wayne M @Wayne93 08/04/2023 Alcarras is a beautiful portrayal of family and land. Authentic to the bone, it's a quietly moving film that slowly envelopes you in its emotional story. Uniquely, it is filmed entirely in the Catalan language in the small rural town of Alcarras. It tells the story of the multi-generational Sole family. For decades they have farmed their land, predominantly for peaches. They have use of the land thanks to an agreement decades ago when the owners had to give it up under Franco law. But nothing was ever signed and now the current owner wants to sell up the land to solar panel owners. Legally they haven't a leg to stand on and their future is uncertain. It's not just an economic quandary but a dramatic change in their way of life. This film beautifully captures the loss of lifestyle and tradition. It moves slowly and not much happens, but we quietly observe the everyday rhythms of a rural family. The cast is mainly non-professional, adding another layer of authenticity to a small gem of a film. See more Read all reviews
