God's Own Country2017

In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

‘God’s Own Country’ is unapologetically modern in its themes and presentation, with a clear focus on queer identity. It’s not as heavy-handed as some contemporary films, but traditional values often take a back seat. Not peak woke, but firmly in the club.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The film centers on a same-sex relationship, with identity clearly significant to the plot. While character development is strong, some viewers may feel the focus on sexuality overshadows other aspects, nudging the story toward message over pure narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional masculinity, rural customs, and family dynamics are portrayed with some tension. The film challenges rural norms and masculinity, which might come across as aligning with modern ideological narratives over traditional values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives, such as conservative or religious views on sexuality, are largely sidelined or associated with repression and negativity. The film predominantly advances one viewpoint without much debate or pluralism.
