      FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/40-acres-review/

      "40 Acres is an impressive debut from R.T. Thorne, demonstrating remarkable control over both the technical and thematic elements of the work.

      Although set within the post-apocalyptic genre, it transcends its boundaries by offering a deep character study and a relevant social analysis. Anchored by a magnetic performance from Danielle Deadwyler and a high-caliber technical and artistic team, this is one of the year's most surprisingly memorable films.

      A testament to resilience, belonging, and the fight for a place - both physical and symbolic - in a collapsing world."
