This film is an endeavour to consider cows. To move us closer to them. To see both their beauty and the challenge of their lives. Not in a romantic way but in a real way. It’s a film about one dairy cow’s reality and acknowledging her great service to us. 

“Remarkable. Unflinching and empathetic. There is something very heartfelt and committed about Andrea Arnold’s film: a poignancy and intimacy.”
THE GUARDIAN ★ ★ ★ ★

“A piece of pure cinema… Gripping. A uniquely fascinating experiment. There is remarkable film craft on display, plenty of moments of wonder and beauty, some heart-melting tenderness and a finale to match The Irishman. Compelling and unique. A vital and ground-breaking work of art.”
THE WRAP

“Nearly wordless, yet extremely loud. Arnold’s first feature-length documentary applies her characteristic kitchen-sink realism and quotidian poetry to a world where animals exist solely under human control. Captivating.”
THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

“Andrea Arnold’s rumination on a ruminant could be life changing. This tale of a bovine life is both brutal and beautiful”
EVENING STANDARD

“A hypnotic spell rife with significance… Wrestles with the bleak nature of the world while acknowledging its transcendent beauty at the same time. It enacts its simple premise in straightforward terms but assembles them into a profound big picture. A small miracle. The kind of sound and image deep dive that the term “pure cinema” was invented to describe.”
