Freeland

Subtle but searing performance by Krisha Fairchild. Loved the woven in archival footage and the attention to detail throughout. One of the first "weed films" that both completely inhabits and transcends its underground setting. The filmmakers did their research and fully immersed in a community not often centered on screen.

As a person who has gotten bored with love stories, family dramas, and hero-action films, I'm always looking for good movies that aren't any of those. And this was one. An aging hippie who has grown pot for more than thirty years is edged out of the business when the trade is legalized. The acting was good, the story was believable and interesting . . . But the ending- there basically wasn't one. It's like they didn't know what do next, so they gave up and rolled the credits.

It's a solid performance about an older pot grower that's edged out of the business when it becomes legal. It's also a sad story about what it would be like to be at the age of retirement and trying to remain relevant in the pot world.

Freeland is a compelling story that is well written and beautifully captured by the actors. It's a credible and authentic depiction of the cannabis world through one woman's perspective. The cinematography is beautiful.

Imagine the injustice of having your business shut down just because you don't pay taxes, have a business license, building permits, or safety protocols. Why, you might actually have to get a job! This movie embodies the unthinkable hardships of Northern California hippies.

FREELAND should be required viewing for any government official in a State contemplating the legalization of cannabis. Every high and low of Devi's character is completely and competently expressed by the superb Krisha Fairchild, leading the cast of exceptional actors. You feel you've known people like them, may have even been one of them. The cinematography will transport you from grand scenes of natural beauty to cramped working quarters during one growing season. You'll grow along with it.

Krishna Fairchild turns in an electrifying performance as Devi in this well crafted drama that ends in a surprising way. The themes of the film resonate and the supporting performances and cinematography are outstanding. Well worth a watch

After a deep appreciation of her performance in "Krisha'" when I read that Krisha Fairchild would be headlining this film, I expected greatness. I was not disappointed. I eschew most movies today as sensationalist and visceral in a shallow way, but truly enjoy the deeply honest and soulful handling by Mario Furloni and Kate McLean of a story of the passing of the halcyon days of illegal marijuana farming in Northern California (filmed on location) . Really a must on your watch list if you love quit films that still sink deep in your bones and live in your heart.

This is nothing else than a big piece of crap. Not worth spending any minute on it, because crappy story, crappy producer, crap acting... If you wanna spend over 1h of your life watching some old hag, that cultivates and consumes weed than this is the perfect movie for you ;)
