"A delicate, emotional observation of a woman's sexuality in rural India, The Field is not only technically outstanding, but a story that allows its audience's senses to come alive. Its main actor, Mia Maelzer, leads the cast in a truly captivating performance. This film paints a portrait of a woman in a clandestine relationship that can only exist whilst the cornfields that must supply her family's food remain unharvested. It explores themes of intimacy, sexuality, seasons in life, and the female burden of motherhood and work. It demonstrates nuance, subtlety and compassion towards its subjects, and has an almost documentary-style naturalism paired with a perfect narrative tension, that does not let its audience go."
