**Review: *Just a Farmer*** *Just a Farmer* is a deeply affecting Australian drama that sheds light on the hidden struggles of rural life, intertwining themes of mental health, loss, and resilience. Directed by Simon Lyndon, the film follows Alison, a widow grappling with the challenges of running her family’s farm while raising her children after her husband’s death by suicide. Leila McDougall, who also penned the screenplay, gives a poignant performance, capturing the emotional weight of grief and the determination to persevere against overwhelming odds. The film's authenticity stems not only from its grounded storytelling but also from the personal connections of its cast and crew to the issues it portrays. Actor Robert Taylor, who plays a significant supporting role, has spoken about losing close family members to suicide, bringing added depth and emotional truth to the story. This personal connection reflects the heartbreaking reality that in Australia, a farmer dies by suicide every ten days—a statistic that underscores the urgency of the film's message. The rural backdrop, beautifully captured by Gavin Head’s cinematography, serves as both a haven and a harsh reminder of the isolation faced by farming families. Director Simon Lyndon strikes a delicate balance, using the vastness of the landscape to mirror the emotional journey of the characters while avoiding melodrama. The story’s strength lies in its quiet moments of human connection and the unwavering support of the farming community, offering a hopeful counterbalance to its heavy subject matter. *Just a Farmer* goes beyond being a story of personal loss; it is a powerful call to action, shining a spotlight on the mental health crisis in rural Australia. By highlighting the pressures of farm life and the devastating toll they can take, the film fosters compassion and understanding for an often-overlooked community. This is an essential watch for anyone moved by authentic storytelling that confronts difficult truths with honesty and grace. It’s not just a film about survival—it’s about finding strength in the face of unimaginable hardship and the importance of breaking the silence surrounding mental health.
