El viento que agita la cebada

Performances are excellent, and Cillian Murphy continues to surprise.

...ingen kan som Loach gøre det politiske vedkommende og det personlige almengyldigt.

There's a kind of dry tastefulness about The Wind That Shakes The Barley's historical recreations, even when Loach is staging rapes and executions.

...Murphy proves himself not just another pretty face but a pretty face with a conscience and an actor of surprising depth.
