Land of Plenty Ratings & Reviews
World Socialist Web Site
David Walsh
Wenders' film is remarkable for another reason. Shot on digital video in a mere 16 days, Land of Plenty places social deprivation in America at its very center.
Variety
Leslie Felperin
Wim Wenders' first fiction featurefeature since 2000's The Million Dollar Hotel, rocky but respectable Land of Plenty proves the helmer often does better with low budgets, fast schedules and young collaborators.
Seattle Times
Jeff Shannon
It casts a spell of compassionate humanity with a gently healing effect.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Jeff Vice
There are some fine performances, as well as a surprising, well-earned and emotional pay-off that comes at the end.
Salt Lake Tribune
Sean P. Means
These intriguing characters and some gorgeous (for digital video) footage keep you involved, even as the plot meanders.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Hampered by an ending that overreaches needlessly, the film is nevertheless worthy and unmistakably the effort of an enduringly distinctive and important filmmaker.
L.A. Weekly
Scott Foundas
The flawed, fascinating Land of Plenty is easily Wenders' most vital work in more than a decade.
Film Journal International
Eric Monder
Land of Plenty isn't for everyone, but patient viewers will be rewarded with a poignant look at life in America today.
About.com
Marcy Dermansky
Michelle William's warm, emphathic presence made Wim Wenders' new 9/11 film into a truly watchable film.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Wenders handles America's physical landscape with characteristic clarity. But he never gets a handle on the trickier political terrain and so, like Uncle Paul, ends up chasing too many roads to nowhere.
TV Guide
Ken Fox
Works best as an illustration of the way conspiracy theories serve to weave threads of order, however fantastic, during moments of incomprehensible upheaval.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Land of Plenty has a few too many coincidences and tends to be sugary, but it has an important precautionary message in this age of terror.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Taking up the divided, anxious state of post-9/11 American life, Wim Wenders's new film is like a clumsy, well-meaning intervention in a family quarrel.
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
With the film's coda set at ground zero, Wenders has never seemed more of a tourist.
Offoffoff
Joshua Tanzer
A caricature that indicts, if not our actual country, then a rather similar country that an outsider imagines America to be.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Wenders is content wandering the American heartland with his iPod and camera-as-divining-rod, looking for a thematic purpose to anchor his groggy, music-infused aesthetic.
Las Vegas Weekly
Josh Bell
Wenders spends too much time with the uninteresting murder-mystery, and by the time he gets around to the truly insightful, moving dialogue, it's too little, too late.
The Hollywood Reporter
Ray Bennett
The sense of wonderment and desire for understanding that envelop the old soldier and the young disciple create a mood of profound optimism.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...Land of Plenty just doesn't work - though you've got to admire Wenders for trying something different.
eFilmCritic.com
Erik Childress
Spends so much time on the obsession with terror that it dilapidates our ability to ultimately care until it's too late.
