Fake it 'til you make it. The latest gem from Amalia Ulman (El Planeta), MAGIC FARM takes us on a kaleidoscopic journey packed with twists and turns, cross-cultural encounters and true personalities. When a misguided American documentary crew in search of their next viral segment ends up in the wrong town in rural Argentina, chaos ensues. As they collaborate with locals to fake a new music trend, unexpected relationships form and an unfolding health crisis becomes apparent. Colorful and unfiltered, MAGIC FARM is led by a stellar ensemble including Chloë Sevigny, Alex Wolff and Simon Rex. Shot through with a vivid sense of place, this Berlinale and Sundance selection combines a surreal send-up of the media with a heartfelt exploration of humanity.

Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Oct 8, 2025
Director Amalia Ulman’s use of cheap and cheesy visual effects is presumably meant to be ironic but adds very little to this paltry offering. Go to Full Review
Linda Marric The Sun (UK) May 16, 2025
2/5
Its attempt at absurdity rarely lands, leaving behind a project more self-indulgent than insightful. Go to Full Review
Tara Brady Irish Times May 15, 2025
3/5
Burke Battelle’s whimsical score amplifies the offbeat charm, but the comedic tone is ill met by tonal inconsistencies, flat punchlines and a wilful lack of momentum. Cross-cultural satire lurks unassertively in the margins. Go to Full Review
Alfred Castaneda Shade Studios Jul 30, 2025
Think of Magic Farm as an above average episode of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia with Gen-Zers and their chaperones. Go to Full Review

3/5
...Magic Farm becomes a true oddity bordering on the bizarre, which in my case took me from laughter to disenchantment, from fascination to irritation, and back again. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
Cameron Ritter Geek Vibes Nation Jul 20, 2025
4.5/10
Ulman’s vision here is ambitious but doesn’t quite come together. It’s funny to see idiotic Americans stumbling through a small South American town, but there’s no substance outside of this premise that gets old by the end of the first act. Go to Full Review

Sue May 18, 2025 Good acting, wonderful scenery, movie a bit muddled See more
WPR May 2, 2025 A satire that turns romantic but never sentimental the dialogue is quotable, and Alex Wolff is hilarious. See more
Oleksii V @ole665 Aug 28, 2025 A bit chaotic but engaging. See more
Rodrigo C @RT39862890 Jul 13, 2025 Magic Farm se queda a medias. Solo es una serie de viñetas de la Argentina rural y el equipo de producción maravillandose con todo. El talento de Chloe es totalmente desaprovechado y aparece menos de 10mins en la película. See more
MB C @MB.Cinema Jul 8, 2025 Amalia Ulman's Magic Farm is a satirical take on cultural ignorance and media exploitation, wrapped in surreal comedy and striking visuals. While visually bold and conceptually daring, the film often stumbles narratively—lost in scattered dialogue and shallow commentary. Alex Wolff delivers a standout performance, and the film’s aesthetic choices are memorable, but its social critiques remain underdeveloped. It’s an ambitious experiment that entertains more than it enlightens.... See more
Ben P @RT20862047 Jun 11, 2025 'Missing the forest for the trees,' or so the saying goes. Full review on my Substack: https://benpatten.substack.com/ See more
