This movie has been criticized by amateurs and the ignorant because it's unrealistic. For example, i saw one review which said because the farm wasn't muddy, it was a terrible movie. And other was so confused how there was a lone cow in the field. People need to stop focusing on things which are supposed to be realistic. This is not a documentary, it was a movie. Regardless, critics can stay mad while Mendes makes millions and wins awards while they achieve nothing in life.
