Review of Sweet Country (2018) by Jax R — 26 Jun 2018

Sometimes the expression "it's a beautifully shot film" is the kiss of death to me, akin to hearing in high school that a blind date had a great personality. Here that observation is not only not the case but indeed it is the least of it's many attributes, for here is a nuanced piece about, for instance, hatred, that doesn't use a megaphone to make its point.

Instead, languid observation serves to reveal (as it should in a visual medium) some of the results of unthinking action. A potent work resonant with both scenic and personal and historic beauty.
