The Promised Land - Reviews

...this a film that not only deftly braids social drama with a tale of frontier survival, it does so in the most unsparing and consistently entertaining of ways.

Mads Mikkelsen is a dour delight in this gritty ‘Hygge Western’.

...enjoyably gritty Nordic western.

...a stirring historical epic that balances its grandiose framing with something surprisingly grounded and genuine. A bountiful harvest indeed.

...is so successful at what it attempts to do I felt exhilarated when the first fragile seedling popped up above the earth.

...Nikolaj Arcel's retelling of a true-life act of monumental masculine hubris in the face of impossible odds.

...et velsmurt drama om klassekamp og overlevelse.
