Terrific acting, a perfectly captured period setting, and a simple, aching farm courtship, that's all Sweet Land is.

As opposed to the bulk of low-budget films, the look here is lush and beautifully crafted; even the make-up is excellent.

A film of uncommon grace, one that transports you to an America that seems innately familiar even though you have never seen it depicted on-screen quite like this before.

Echoing Malick's 'Days of Heaven' in the way it captures the majesty of the American countryside, this is a small gem that's worth seeking out.
