Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

In the Name of the Land (out Nov 26) feels like the French equivalent of a Ken Loach film. It's the story of a middle-aged farmer who is struggling to pay the bills and can't catch a break. It starts to take on toll on the whole family. It's a touch slow to begin but the film's climax will leave an impression. Grade: B+.
