Review of Promised Land (2012) by Kem W — 05 Jan 2013

I really didn't care for this movie. while nicely photographed, showing rural Pennsylvania, it felt contrived from the get-go!

This felt like propaganda with the typical Hollywood demonization of oil/gas companies. There were too many implausible characters throughout,constructed to drive their narrative rather than be believable. Francis McDormand was fantastic however as she always is and is the ONLY reason to see this movie!
