The Biggest Little Farm: The Return (2022)

We enjoyed this 29 minute sequel to The Biggest Little Farm in which director, writer, narrator, and cinematographer John Chester further documents the organic, biodiverse farm he founded with his wife Molly in Moorpark, California (in Ventura County, about 50 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles).

Noted composer Jeff Beal's score for this is not available so, as I type, I'm once again listening to his soundtrack from the earlier movie on Apple Music.

Some have complained that this short has too much repetition from the original, but Jack and I didn't mind. It's been three years since we saw the first, which was not, despite my prediction, honored by the Oscars with even a nomination, though it does have 15 wins and 27 other nominations, including the Critics Choice Award.

All of the aforementioned filmmakers were last blogged for The Biggest Little Farm. The sequel is not rated on Rotten Tomatoes.

The full length (1:31) original is now available on Hulu and we streamed this one on May 20 on Disney+.
