"die saat ist ein beachtlicher film von einer regisseurin, deren namen man sich merken muss.“ (filmdienst)
"schmerzhaft präzise" (kino zeit)
"mit dem wechsel von momenten der innigen nähe und dem lauten druck von außen gelingt (...) ein stimmiges drama." (tipberlin)
"in schonungsloser deutlichkeit zeigt sie so, was passieren kann, wenn die langsam gedeihende saat der verzweiflung schließlich aufgeht. das lässt niemanden kalt." (moz)
"in der dramaturgischen stringenz seiner erzählung und der parteinahme für die »kleinen leute« erinnert »die saat« an die besten filme von ken loach. mehr ehre geht eigentlich nicht." (nd)
"it might seem almost instinctive to position mia maariel meyer’s the seed on the same spectrum as filmmakers concerned with the human toll of worker exploitation, ken loach’s sorry we missed you (2019) an immediate reference point here in how it too focuses on the intersection of precarious labor practices with family trauma. and while the comparisons are deserved – yes, meyer’s film really is that good – it would be a mistake to see it only through the lens of the work of other filmmakers" (awfj.org)
