The Grapes of Wrath reviews

The Grapes of Wrath holds a 7.8/10 average from 1,147 TMDB ratings.

Master piece from John Ford picturing the situation in US during the Great Depression and how an Oklahoma family tries to survive looking for jobs to California. Everything is perfect: director, performances, script, etc. A must to be watched.
— Andres Gomez (10/10)

Tom Joad returns to his home after a jail sentence to find his family kicked out of their farm due to foreclosure. He catches up with them on his Uncle’s farm, and joins them the next day as they head for California and a new life... Hopefully.
