French acting legend Nathalie Baye and her real-life daughter Laura Smet play two of the many women left behind during World War I to run the family farm. “A historical drama that doesn’t lose itself in decorative period detail, a beautifully photographed chronicle of rural existence that refrains from picturesque sentimentality and grinding misery, the usual modes for this kind of film. Ms. Baye, one of the great living French screen actresses, is steely and magnificent.” — New York Times
