Clickonline writes: "A Field in England is the story of a group of soldiers who get captured by an alchemist who forces them to help him find a treasure buried in a field. Mushrooms are taken, trips are had and things start to get altogether f*cked up."
Clickonline writes: "A film fashioned for cult appeal, with some wonderfully wrought violence, terrible and beautiful imagery and a fantastic central performance, A Field in England demands to be experienced, on whatever size screen you can find."
TF:
All shot in moody, portentous black-and-white widescreen, bleak and beautiful, while Jim Williams’ nervy, percussive score deepens the sense of nameless foreboding.
Does it work? For the most part, yes; though at times you may feel you’re being fed obscurity for obscurity’s sake.
It could be that Wheatley’s outpaced his audience this time around.
And for a film that’s wrong-footed us so often and so deviously, it seems a shame that it culminates in a rather too predictable shoot-out.
But one thing’s for sure: bracingly bold and (surely) inimitable, A Field In England is like no other movie you’ve ever seen.
IGN:
A Field in England – the new film from Ben Wheatley – is set to be distributed in a unique way, hitting cinemas, VOD, DVD and TV on the same day in the UK.
The film will arrive on July 5, and be the first title to be distributed in such a way.
