Redford and company have put a quirky twist on the material, investing it with a quasi-mystical aspect as well as some raw comedy.

Variety
Rating: 3/5 --
Not good. Not bad. Just there.
Juicy Cerebellum
Redford's film sustains a slow mood of simpatico amiability and photographs the landscape with moony or golden washes that are perhaps hard to dislike, but is slain by its adherence to an outdated populist mythology.

Time Out
Rating: 2.5/4 --
Magazine articles about its making have outlined the problems: multiple script changes, wholesale reshooting. The tinkering appears to have eroded the film's basic core. It is now a series of audience-pleasing turns, with little sense of unity.

Associated Press
...THE MILAGRO BEANFIELD WAR, part magical fable, part realistic comedy-drama, is a warmly intentioned, well-acted film full of a love of land and of people...
Los Angeles Times
It is not an unintelligent film; but it is prone to caricature and to queasy decorative touches; the magic is the icing on the cake.

The Spectator
This is probably Redford's most complex and cleverly structured directorial effort.

Product Description:
Nothing has changed in Milagro, New Mexico, for 300 years. Then, one day, Joe Mondragon kicks the off-limits community water pipe and begins to irrigate the cracked, dry ground that was once his father's beanfield. The developers of a new luxury recreation area--which is sure to force the natives away--are none too pleased by Joe's actions, and a culture clash ensues between Milagro's colorful, quirky residents and the authorities. The film is based on the novel by John Nichols.
