“An updated spin on the plight of the American farmer… Pingree’s camera is unflappably cool”
Eddie Cockrell, Variety—July 8, 2012“Filmmakers Cecily Pingree and Jason Mann capture their struggles with sensitivity and painterly beauty, including a Greek chorus of cows that observes the action with serene implacability.”
Ann Hornaday, The Washington Post—June 20, 2012“[Betting The Farm] is alternately lovely and nerve-wracking… this documentary is telling its stories, by smart compositions as well as by talking heads.”
Cynthia Fuchs, Pop Matters—June 21, 2012“Beautifully crafted…at turns humorous, heart-wrenching and very humane.”
Avery Yale Kamila, Portland Press Herald—September 26, 2012
