Review of God's Country (1985) by Christopher S — 24 Dec 2008

Pretty bland documentary focuses on the simple and unextraordinary lives of the residents of an unremarkable Minnesota small town - and I guess that's the point, but filmmaker Louis Malle seemed far more fascinated with these common people than I was.

There are a handful of compelling moments, and it would often hint at some interesting aspects, but none of them ever really panned out. Not a terrible film, but not particularly memorable.
