The Farm

About This Movie

So, 'The Farm' (2015) dives into the lives of some pretty unique characters during a tough time in Puerto Rico. You've got this young boxer, but it’s not just about the ring—there’s a lot of heart and struggle in his journey. Then there's the barren midwife, whose story adds this heavy, poignant layer to the mix, touching on themes of loss and unfulfilled dreams. And don’t forget the fat kid with a bike; his perspective brings a bit of innocence amidst the chaos. The pacing feels organic, like life itself, with moments of stillness that really let the weight of their choices sink in. It’s raw, unpolished, and the performances are genuine. Overall, a compelling look at the pursuit of happiness when everything seems to be falling apart.
