40 Acres

Danielle, once again, nails a fantastic portrayal of a young matriarch protecting her family and friends. There's a few surprise characters I didn't expect to meet, but were welcome editions. The villains werent predictable at all. The emotional beats are absolutely wonderful. Love the family bond between found family and blood relatives. The violence and fears were relatable and realistic. The opening scene is everything and should've been the highlight of the trailer. Great ending as well. Is it slow at some points? Yes. Are the teens reckless and annoying, yes and yes. Is it worth it? Yes! If you have the opportunity to watch this in theaters, pls go.

Just saw the movie. First the movie is too long by probably a half hour. There is lots that could be cut to save time and make the movies pace better. I would have also appreciated more world building. There was a small blurb at the beginning but thats pretty much it. The mother is unlikable which I think is the point but it's too much for too little payoff. The step dad and his daughter are a breath of fresh air for the characters. The movie takes forever building up to the action which is at least good. There was a very cool dark action scene that I would have loved to have more of.

Overall it's too long too slow tells too much about stuff that doesn't matter and not enough about what does.

Doesn't give apocalypse nor scifi. Acting was amateur. The violence was accurate, the deuss ex machina scene was not believable. We didn't care enough for the characters from their poor development. Would not recommend not cause acting was laughable nor for the underwhelming climax of it all, but because loosely connected stories coupled by a deplorably written script gave a childish almost annoying vibe that makes a enjoyable movie going experience feel like torture . Had hopes by the rating of the film, so I had to leave a review to anyone thinking they might want to see this. DON'T. Your wasting your time.

In a time of famine, a cynical veteran isolates herself and her family from the rest of the world. Abiding by strict rules, the family prospers, while others succumb to the famine or are targeted by cannibals. While she is okay with their way of life, her son is not and decides to test the limits of the rules, leaving the family fighting for survival.

This is not a typical end-of-the-world scenario. It does not involve zombies, a nuclear war, or an alien invasion. Like many end-of-the-world stories, it explores morality and human depravity. The family's race and history set the story apart from others. There is a good amount of well-choreographed action throughout, but some dialogue scenes are over-the-top and unnecessary. The story is predictable, even with a few unique aspects, making the one-hour and fifty-three-minute runtime feel long. This is definitely worth a stream when available.

Hi,

I watched 40 Acres yesterday and thought it was amazing. If you are in to good acting, great action and a story that connects to the soul and humanity found in each and every one of us then you must see this film. Music 10/10 as well.

I should also mention how touching some of the moments in the film are. It will take you back to your younger years. Some scenes will make you laugh out loud. There were scenes that had the whole theatre cheering.

The cinematography is very well done. Great editing and some very clever plots twists to keep you entertained.

The locations the film was created in were also very good.

Big ups to everyone involved.
