Review of God's Own Country (2017) by Casey C — 15 Feb 2018

Incredible. So many quiet moments in this film. It was almost uncomfortable without having a film score, it felt naked and exposed and vulnerable. This was beautifully shot and an even more beautiful story. Great direction and great actors. It felt raw, real, cold, isolated much like John felt early on. I can not recommend this enough.

Also, this film can fit into the very very very small number of films that exist that are not about gay relationships at the club, doing drugs, or dying from the AIDS epidemic. It's refreshing to see something from this perspective. While the others mentioned above are important stories to tell this genre of film seems to be only about the former and not about discovering and embracing love.
