Johnny Saxby (Josh O'Connor) works long hours on his family's remote farm in the north of England. He numbs the daily frustration of his lonely existence with nightly binge-drinking at the local pub and casual sex. But when a handsome Romanian migrant worker (Alec Secareanu) arrives to take up temporary work on the family farm, Johnny suddenly finds himself having to deal with emotions he has never felt before. As they begin working closely together during lambing season, an intense relationship starts to form which could change Johnny's life forever. Captivating and broodingly beautiful, God's Own Country is the award winning debut feature from writer/director Francis Lee. Bracingly open hearted, this is a thrillingly romantic story set in the heart of rural Yorkshire. Both poignant and moving, this finely crafted British film features a host of standout performances, marking it out as an absolute must see. (Lionsgate Home Entertainment)

God’s Own Country is in some moments very reminiscent of Brokeback Mountain, as it also features two seemingly different men who take care of (not only) sheep, fall in love. But they have to face the fact that they are in the countryside, far from civilization, where they look down on anyone who is even slightly different. The film stands out for the grounded performances of both the leads and the supporting cast, who admittedly don't say much, but that only adds to the overall intimacy and raw atmosphere. I was intrigued by the fact that the film doesn't deal purely with gay issues, but also addresses the issue of ethnic minorities and the theme of family. The film has a slower and longer build up, so I was thinking about three stars, but then the plot twist happens, and the ending was absolutely brilliantly delivered and acted.

A sensitive yet powerfully realistic film about life in the countryside. There are scenes you won't likely see anywhere else, and the work with the animals is really well done. The erotic scenes, of which there are quite a few, are similarly well shot. The love between the young men is very intense and very believable.
