"The Biggest Little Farm" movie review

Not only is the cause a just and noble one, the photography is stunning. Yes, there are gaps in the narrative (like how did they afford all this from those silent few investors) but for a film on natural farming, for a movie with the cutest pigs ever, for a documentary about working the land, it's a really good movie.

A young couple decide to get investors, purchase 200 acres north of Los Angeles and turn a wasted plot of nothing into a thriving and possibly lucrative farm, using no pesticides, no fertilizer other than natural manure.  The photography is gorgeous, the film is populated with lovely looking people and cool characters and those aforementioned piglets are almost worth the price of admission. How nature can be in balance and how the good and not-so-good can coexist and even be beneficial to each other is a great lesson in harmony.  Harmony is something this country does not currently possess, so the movie is a small slice of hope in the future.

I would encourage you to see this. No, it is not perfect and yes there are some times when I felt a smirk on my face, but I have to say that there were a couple of tears in my eyes at the end, at the beauty of the cycle of life and death and the product that comes from a lot of hard work.  (And a lot of money.)  Even cynical Julie says "Two thumbs up."
