100Illuminating and alarming.
-
75Offers only the smallest glimmer of hope that the two sides can work things out through ingenuity and compromise.
-
Though it has the slight, informal feel of a made-for-television documentary shot on video, Farmingville is an unusually sensitive and sophisticated piece of investigative journalism.
-
Tambini and Sandoval lived in the community for a year and present the story with great immediacy. The film could have benefited from some deeper analysis of why these people feel their way of life is so threatened.
