Harvest (2025)

Based on British author Jim Crace’s novel about a farming community in a non-specified pre-Industrial Revolution century, the first English language film from Greek director Athina Rachel Tsangari is set in the idyllic village where Walter Thirsk (Caleb Landry Jones) spends his days walking around enjoying nature and boinking fellow local Kitty Gosse (Rose McEwen). When one of the farmstead buildings mysteriously burns down, the town assumes it was started by three outsiders who recently drifted into town - Mistress Beldam (Thalissa Teixeira) and her male companions (Noor Dillan-Night and Gary Maitland) - and enacts some swift justice without trial or deliberation. She’s accused of being a witch, has her head shorn, and is then kicked out into the forest while the men are put into the stocks in the village square. Walter isn’t a fan of the punishment, but his unease grows even more with the arrival of Master Jordan (Frank Dillane), the wealthy cousin of the main landowner, Master Kent (Harry Melling) who Walter grew up with and continues to view as a friend. The money-grubbing Jordan wants to take over the socialistic community to make it more profitable, but when a cartographer named Earle (Arinzé Kene) also shows up - hired by Kent - to make a map of the land and give it some official names, Walter becomes suspicious of Kent’s motives as well. You can always trust in Mr. Skin though, and we happily report that while Thalissa only flashes a bit of boobage, there’s a lengthier scene with a great look at Rose’s round mounds an hour and ten minutes in. Crops won’t be the only things growing!
