God's own country
Re: God's own country
Most people adore this film but I'm sorry to say it never grabbed me, I found it cliched and boring. How long can you endure looking at a moody young man who really should grow up!! No,this was not for me!

Re: God's own country
Saw this back in January, at a special EE and BAFTA screening, and Q&A with Josh O'Connor, the EE Rising Star Awards Nominee.
Beautiful and stunning, but bleak. Josh O'Connor was excellent as the young man exploring his sexuality, torn by his commitment to his family.
A moving love story against the grim, cold backdrop of life on a Yorkshire farm, although the scenery is beautiful. Very visual! Farming, bonking, eating, repeat with lots of close ups! But extremely engrossing story and very well performed and well told!
9/10
The Q&A is really interesting as per usual. Here, Josh O'Connor talks about how the scenes were filmed, and about his favourite scene in the bath!
