Beneath the Harvest Sky

This movie is so touching and honest it gives me the chills to this day looking back on it. I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it to anyone who is looking for a heartfelt movie with a realistic approach to teenagers growing up in a rough town, whose main goal is to escape it for a better reality. The score is absolutely beautiful and provides a reprieve from the darkness of this film. McAuliffe's and Cohen's performances are very raw and excellently portray two best friends who are extremely loyal to one another despite their differences. I could feel their connection and it never ever felt less than 100% authentic. The other supporting actors were equally as good. Throughout this movie you will continuously be sitting at the edge of your seat in anticipation. "You are here, but not for long"

Beneath the Harvest Sky is a 2013 independent drama that centers around the lives of two teenage best friends living in Rural Main.

Written and directed by Aron Gaudet and Gita Pullapilly, Beneath the Harvest Sky is a good film with a strong story about the lack of options that some growing up in rural areas might face. The two main characters Casper and Dominic are two best friends who get caught up in a prescription drug business run by Casper's uncle that puts a small rift in their plans to move out of their small town and start a new chapter in their lives when Casper wants to continue what he's doing and Dominic want's to leave. It's a sad film that shows that life isn't always all sunshine and rainbows, and that it's up to you to choose the path in life you want to go down.

It was wonderfully written and directed with very real characters dealing with real situations. The cast is terrific, the setting is perfect, and I was completely caught off guard by the films ending. If you haven't seen this movie before, I would definitely recommend checking it out.

Wow. I thought this one had some potential. But as stated in the title, it was absolutely painful. I'm not saying it wasn't without merit. The cinematography was pretty good. Definitely not a small, budget film. And the acting was decent. It's just that the storyline was miserable. It takes place in a bleak Maine town near the Canadian border. There are pretty much no jobs except for picking potatoes. So the kids in the movie have no future to look forward to. One of them gets his girlfriend knocked up. And naturally, there get into running drugs. As it turns out, this is one of those movies I quit halfway through. There was nothing pleasant about it. '

If you're in the mood to get really depressed, check it out. You'll love the miserable characters.

Raw, honest, amazing actors, excellent soundtrack (and frankly the only full soundtrack i bought for £7.99). A coming-of-age movie that will surely affect ages 16-23.

This movie is not for everyone, you should have an edgy self to really appreciate it.

Emory Cohen (Casper), Sarah Sutherland (Emma), Callan McAuliffe and Aidan Gillen (Game of Thrones) were amazing actors. A movie well worth watching and forming an opinion. Very, very, very good.

If you liked 'Rampage' (the only movie that comes in mind) you will love this movie. It has an aesthetic that is very enticing and an honesty that will blow you away.

I give it 10 out of 10 for the moments it offered me!

The ending could not have been more perfect. It really brought together the whole story; a circular structure that will leave you undoubtedly moved. I really enjoyed this film... Such a unique story that's explores an interesting and often overlooked way of life; the potato harvesting industry in Maine. It was unlike anything I had seen before, aided by fanatic performances from all of the cast! Everything felt very real. It was interesting to discover that the talented writers and directors - Aron Gaudet and Gita Pullapilly - come from a documentary background! This was definitely incited into the film, with the extremely raw elements of realism. Beautifully written and shot too! I highly recommend this film. It's something out of the ordinary yet it has a deep sense of sorrow and empathy that we can indeed all relate to. Kudos to everyone involved! Great film.
