Peter and the Farm

About This Movie

So, 'Peter and the Farm' is a deep dive into the life of Peter Dunning, a character as rugged as his Vermont landscape. The film strips away the glamor often found in documentaries, laying bare a life of solitude lived among animals. You can feel the biting cold of winter nights as Peter shuffles through the farm, his only companions the sheep and pigs. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, allowing you to soak in his struggles and the weight of his past. There’s a raw honesty in his performances, which really brings to life his complicated relationship with family and self. It’s not just about farming; it’s a portrait of a man grappling with his demons in an unforgiving environment.
