Critics consensus

“Before digital uploads, there was a man with a camera and a bizarrely macabre take on the bucolic; the equal parts unsettling and heartwarming A Life on the Farm is indelible proof of that.”

Harding’s masterstroke is showing how Carson is made into a cult hero by the subculture of Americans who celebrate strange video content.

The film pays worthy tribute to its subject, despite a more conventional form.
