Critical response
Courtney Small of 'That Shelf' wrote that "Until Branches Bend is such an effective and unnerving film because Jarvis keeps everything grounded in a reality that is identifiable. One is always aware of the dangers Robin faces while navigating a community that is becoming increasingly more hostile towards her. While Robins safety remains top of mind, thanks to Glowickis sensationally layered performance, one can also understand the frustration that the locals have because of big corporations monopolizing and governing how farmers and crop pickers make a living. Jarvis film also captures the arrogance of capitalism from a generational wealth perspective as well."Courtney Small, [https://thatshelf.com/tiff-2022-until-branches-bend-review/ "TIFF 2022: Until Branches Bend Review"].
