Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Keeps its Marxist message under wraps, and manages never to be either lackluster or thrilling.
-
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice
An Italian masterpiece that elegantly and effortlessly depicts the natural rhythms of life in a rural community in the nineteenth century.

Jules Brenner, Cinema Signals
The value here is in documenting an example of the small social units and their values that were steps in the evolution to representational government.
-
Steven D. Greydanus, Decent Films Guide
A gentle Catholic counterpoint to angry Marxist peasant cinema acutely aware of harsh economic and social injustices, but devoid of violent revolutionary spirit.
