A
feature writing and directing debut for Francis Lee, God's Own Country invites
comparison to Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain, in that it
tells the story of two young farm hands who become attracted to one another and act on that attraction while in a remote section of land, away from prying eyes.
For those out of the loop, it
tells the story of a sweet - natured girl named Justine (Garance Marillier in a standout performance) who joins her older sister (Ella Rumpf) at a veterinary college that
features hazing rituals that makes the opening of «Full Metal Jacket» seem tame by
comparison.
