Press Quotes

'Beans' is a thoughtful, stirring reflection by someone who survived it all, quietly demanding acknowledgement not just of her land, but of her life.

     —Guy Lodge, Variety

An affecting personal spin on recent history.

     —Sheri Linden, The Hollywood Reporter

When Beans works, it resonates. And when it doesn't, it's not a tragedy - merely evidence of a filmmaker finding what works for her voice and vision, and what might work better for a highly anticipated follow-up.
