The story centers on Johan, a veteran reed cutter and caring grandfather. The film's atmosphere is set in the Weerribben-Wieden landscape, where the mysterious whispering of the reeds gives voice to the anxiety and secrets hidden in the community. The lead role, played by Gerrit Knobbe, is not a professional actor, but a real reed cutter, giving an authentic, powerful performance that highlights Bresser's talent for character exploration and actors instructions. The visual style of Reedland is influenced by Bergman, Haneke and Vinterberg, while the labyrinthine depiction of the reeds is reminiscent of Kaneto Shindō's Onibaba. The film's short running time, dense atmosphere, and somber subject matter make it a true work made for the big screen, a carefully composed, tense, visually strong, character-driven thriller that examines the effects of crime, grief, and loneliness in a rural community.
