Critics Consensus

A quiet, moving rumination on loneliness and newfound intimacy, God's Own Country marks an outstanding directorial debut for Francis Lee.

Writer-director Francis Lee creates a more credible rural milieu, anchored in the grubby details of raising livestock and the furious emotional repression of his male characters.

3.5/5

Earnest, honest, accurate, and unrelenting, this is the true romance of the countryside, dung-splattered boots and all.

4.5/5

Director/writer Francis Lee's electrifying feature debut is a working-class, fun-house mirror version of "Call Me By Your Name's" upper-class pretensions and is equally, if not more, rewarding because of it.

It’s a testament to Josh O’Connor’s naturalness on screen, and his commitment to exploring Johnny honestly and fearlessly, that he doesn’t get sunk by the wrong turn the film takes.

4/5

It's a film filled with beautiful sweaters, mud wrestling, and sad boys, which means it's deeply romantic

God’s Own Country is beautifully told, not self-conscious.

This film has aged very well! Enjoyed it more the second time, when I wasn’t tired. This is a film that requires the ability of the viewer to focus on the performances and I recommend turning subtitles on to catch all the dialogue.

This film truly deserves its place. I just finished watching it, and it's one of the best films I've ever seen. Anyone who says it doesn't deserve it must be crazy. When I watched it, I cried, feeling immense joy and sadness at the same time. Absolutely wonderful.
