The Field Ratings & Reviews
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
One of Jim Sheridan's weakest and most propagandistic films, this Iriah social melodrama was made between two highlights: My Left Foot and In the Name of the Father.
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
Richard Harris's standout performance elevates this simple fable into a near classic.
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
A gut-wrenching drama pulsating with Shakespearean passions
New York Times
Vincent Canby
The Field is a movie that all too often reveals its origins as a play.
Matinee Magazine
Chuck Rudolph
The astonishing Richard Harris can't overcome the underwhelming narrative. A rare misfire from Jim Sheridan.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
As overwrought as [My Left Foot] was understated.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Chris Hicks
Predictable and interminably slow-moving, The Field appears at times to be an uneven blend of John Ford's The Informer and David Lean's Ryan's Daughter.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
Sheridan seems out in left field here, undone by the sheer hokum of the material.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The Field is a grim allegory of hard life on the land -- a symbolic play, transplanted uneasily to the greater realism of the film medium, where what we might accept on the stage now looks contrived and artificial.
Washington Post
Eve Zibart
A painfully overwrought combination of A Touch of the Poet and Zorba the Greek.
