Sweet Land


Rating = B-

The scenery is good looking, the music is intriguing, the characters are interesting to look at, and some of the acting is pretty good. However, the story is muddled: it is based on a double flash back which is confusing, things happen early in the film that aren't required later in the film, either the character of the minister is hopelessly confused or the writer is confused about the character of the minister, and so forth. The film has a gentle, sometimes too slow, pace; nothing inappropriate is every heard or seen.
