Interweaving 16mm 1930s film footage with interview material and animated sequences, the documentary HYBRID looks back on the life of Milford Beeghly, a devoted and revolutionary farmer in Great Depression Iowa. Obsessed with the idea of enhancing the corn crop, Beeghly was ahead of his time in terms of his agricultural ideas. But while he was a clear pioneer in the field, Beeghly was less attentive at home, where his wife and children felt their connections to the man pale in comparison to how he felt about corn itself.

A stunning documentary that itself plays as a hybrid of something dreamed-up by Errol Morris and the Brothers Quay.

The director, Monteith McCollum, has created a living, breathing film, as interesting and moving as any fictional film.

Fascinating if somewhat sluggish documentary.

A highly unusual hayride through the cornfields of old, Hybrid showcases the odd and eccentric relics of a past culled from a family scrapbook filled barnyard cobwebs and the echoes of mislaid affections.

Two-thirds in, this American biogothic collapses like stalks under hail.

For most of its running time, Hybrid is as remote and cold and boring as its subject.

This dark, brooding fantasia on man and nature is a film that sometimes plods, but it often plows rich soil, in a manner as unique and mysterious as its subjects.

The mere fact that a 90-minute documentary about a corn farmer and his crops can manage to be both occasionally entertaining and thoroughly artistic makes Hybrid worth harvesting, if you're in the right farm -- err, frame -- of mind.
