I loved everything about this movie and I am someone who HATES thrillers. This said, the cinematography, acting an storyline were excellent. I have never seen a move elevate Black and Indigenous voice and presence in this way on screen before. It was beautiful. The story was eerily familiar and timely. The themes of love, loss, identity, family, community and other-mothering make it a movie that allows all to find their humanity in a space about the particular. What helped me were the moments of humour when the story was so heavy. There are always moments to smile no matter how hard it gets. I can't wait for my kids to see it.
40 acres kept me on my toes the entire time. I was enthralled. I'll start off by mentioning how beautifully shot the movie was. I loved each and every scene from the action packed moments to the heartwarming family moments. I also loved how the film was able to seamlessly blend humour, action and suspense in such a subtle but fun way. I also loved the characters and their development. Danielle Deadwyler killed it. Seeing Kataeem and Danielle grow individually and within their relationship was so pure, and it was refreshing to see Indigenous and Black love represented on screen. If you have a chance to see 40 acres... go see it.
40 Acres is advanced in how it treats familial, racial, and interpersonal traumas. One could look at this film as an allegorical reflection on the devastation ravaged by North American colonists towards multiple communities (i.e. Indigenous Canadians and enslaved Africans) and, while this is necessary to feel the full weight of these survivors' journeys, the genre bending and fast-paced sequences are so well-tailored that the thrills alone can carry the film.
These are survivors in the truest sense of the word, and it's not killing or laboring in the fields that gives them a hard time, it's learning how to build the trust to let others in.

Entertaining and thrilling. Great performances. Deft storytelling and captivating visuals. This isn't typically my kinda movie and i was really blown away with how entertained i was and how engaged i was throughout. Ending bit with the track was perfection. There's one sequence that I still think about. Was so incredibly satisfying watching this battle play out and I love that while featuring indigenous and black cultures there was a lovely nuance applied that didn't hit you over the head with the obvious notes for this kind of film. Was really impressed to see an original film like this debut out of canada.

This movie has all the hallmarks of a good action/thriller, the plot was engaging and fast paced, and wow, the suspense! What stood out to me was the subtle but impactful exploration of Canadian history including things like the three sisters at the dinner table (Corn, Beans, and Squash), and other interesting notes. Although it was exploring a semi-familiar genre of cannibals (insane!) I found the movie refreshing and different. It was also beautiful, and the way the nature and landscape was shot was captivating. This movie will surprise you! I'm happy I stumbled upon it, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and entertaining watch!
