The Biggest Little Farm

"…a synecdoche of the world’s ecosystem, portrayed through the cyclical design of a singular farm, and imbued with enough sheer optimism that it proves quite infectious."

"Although punctuated with some engaging and clever two-dimensional animation, the joy of Biggest Little Farm comes from its warts-and-all chronicle, as initial excitement turns to slow disillusionment and real fear of failure. It's as if their hardships make the drama feel more real."

"[O]nce you absorb back-to-the-earth porn as lovingly crafted as "The Biggest Little Farm," you might just turn into one of those market gadflies who wants nothing but the most authentic story behind that dewy stone fruit or mocha brown egg."

"Those interested in farming, adorable animals and environmentally friendly lifestyles will swoon over this lovingly made documentary..."

"Like a cross between 'Microcosmos' and an origin story for Old MacDonald, this wonderful doc is possibly the most joyous 90 minutes you'll spend in a cinema this year."

"The gentle rhythm of this timely, environmentally conscious documentary will temporarily draw you away from the world of tiny screens into a partially ambiguous yet fulfilling tale of endurance."

"Although punctuated with some engaging and clever two-dimensional animation, the joy of Biggest Little Farm comes from its warts-and-all chronicle."

"What a lovely, soul-feeding film this is."

"Audiences are invited to connect with the material as they might a good James Herriot story, forging a kind of familiarity that includes them in problem-solving each challenge, with the result that viewers share in the triumph of each tiny success."

"Once the film drops its initial idealisation of back-to-the-land fantasies in favour of a more realistic assessment of the challenges involved, it becomes genuinely involving and heartening."
