4/5
This is another “end of an era” movie, and a very special one at that. Go to Full Review Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald Jul 28, 2023
4.5/5
Alcarras reminds us of what we’ve been missing. It’s a beautiful, sad, authentic depiction of the drama within one extended family facing a kind of oblivion. Go to Full Review K. Austin Collins Rolling Stone Jan 9, 2023
Simón is attentive to the family as a complex unit, depicting it as a thriving mesh of personalities that do not all agree, but which are all bent toward the common ends of labor and survival, like the fibers comprising a muscle. Go to Full Review Samantha Schuster Cinéfilo Serial Sep 29, 2025
4/5
It's one of those unusual stories that we can all relate to at some point. A drama with comedic overtones that never lets the plot fall and also features great character development. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review William Stottor Loud and Clear Reviews Aug 13, 2024

Alcarràs might not have the deep emotional connection it strives for, but its detailed world of textured characters makes it an experience worth having. Go to Full Review Pallavi Keswani The Hindu Jan 22, 2024

Kana J @RT01323032 Dec 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 Jan 7, 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 Sep 19, 2023 Carla Simón does it again. Creating a world with such an atmosphere. And so sad. See more Dani G @RT81139271 Sep 6, 2023 Ok, but not like extremely good to win the major prize (Golden Bear) at Berlin See more Stamatina P @Deacon1 Aug 18, 2023 Individual performances were great but the story-line was predictable and boring. See more Wayne M @Wayne93 Aug 4, 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
