Seeds Review: Gorgeously Shot Documentary of Black Farmers Is a Tender-Hearted Portrait of a Fading Subculture Visually, Brittany Shyne's film recalls Walker Evans, politically the late Béla Tarr.

Opening at @filmforumnyc.bsky.social is Seeds, a gorgeous, tender-hearted portrait of the perseverance of a fading subculture, with Walker Evans-like photography of Black farmers in the rural south. My full review for @screenrant.bsky.social : screenrant.com/seeds-movie-...
