[It's mostly] a well-wrought drama that feels genuine as it goes about spinning a tale worthy of our challenging times.

Promised Land is more effective as an anti-fracking screed than as a drama.
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

Damon and McDormand are terrific as co-workers seeking the same goal, though they see their work from different points of view.
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald

This isn't a movie about easy fixes, be they personal or political; it's a film about long-term problems.
