Critic Reviews of "The Wind That Shakes the Barley"
Miami HeraldMay 11, 2007The Wind that Shakes the Barley is a multi-layered story, and the more you see those different aspects, the more you'll enjoy the film.
RogerEbert.comMay 11, 2007While this may be a historical piece, it's history told in the vivid present tense.
New York PostApril 27, 2007Raises hard questions about Ireland's uncanny ability to kneecap itself.
Denver Rocky Mountain NewsApril 27, 2007[Loach] has made an often handsome, always sobering movie that does what the best movies do: leave us a whole lot less sure about what we ought to think.
Chicago TribuneApril 27, 2007[Loach is] the master of the docu-drama or the realist social film, and Wind is one of his masterpieces.
ReelzChannel.comAugust 28, 2008Pickings must have been pretty slim at Cannes last year because Barley isn't much of a standout piece.
San Francisco ExaminerJuly 19, 2008Loach delivers a moving and often beautiful story that captures the essence of the conflict, with all its unintended consequences and personal tragedies.
Film4March 11, 2008Loach is on fire here. A masterfully executed mix of politics and passion, this is an example of that increasingly rare beast in modern cinema: a serious, thought-provoking film for grown-ups.
