    ★★★

    This is a good documentary for people completely unaware of the approach and unfamiliar with anything land use or nature protection. I came for politics, but mostly got close-up staged shots of mice. Impressive shots though. And some politics.
    The documentary could have spent just a minute more on the original motivation for change, than "we just couldn't bear it any longer", which doesn't teach watchers a whole lot. Why was it financially so difficult? Very glad for the time spent on showing farmers' reactions though.
    I hugely recommend the book, for people interested, but sadly not this filmic version.

    Well executed, but could not watch till the end with this topic.

    ★★½

    Upper class grown-up children sell their childhood home to afford more of the same. That said, the movie is surprisingly interested in questioning where art belongs, in a home or at the museum, and what a true relationship to art is. If only it asked that in a filmic way.
