Jeffrey P Critics hate this, I’m not sure why. I caught the beginning of this late one night, it seemed interesting enough, but with a three hour runtime I had no choice but to save it for another day. A morally grey film that does drag a bit, and probably could have been shortened by an entire hour, as it often feels like it’s bordering on being a faith based drama, and that is dis-jarring and odd since faith based dramas typically don’t try to make us feel sorry about characters such as ‘Jerry.’ Maybe if based on a true story, the runtime and and other problematic areas could be justified, but this just seemed pointlessly dragged out... yet it still held my attention for the most part. The fact that it maintains focus and doesn’t lose attention over the course of a 165-minutes says something positive about it, which is why I don’t understand the very low critics reviews... but still, three hours is a long time and one should be able to guess the ending before it gets there. That said, I felt the soundtrack was the worst part.

I love when a movie takes me out of my realm of decency and throws me into personal contemplation over dark emotions. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/26/24 Full Review Helena S This movie is definitely hard to watch but for good reason. It does not shy away from the most difficult realities and I think that's what might be off-putting to some people. The acting is outstanding, the direction is respectful to the delicate nature of the material and the music is beautiful! I can't believe a young Grace Caroline Currey is in this! Absolutely a must see Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/18/23 Full Review Audience Member The year's dullest movie has arrived: the deeply silly Badland, which is as dead as winter and twice as long. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Personally I found it to be incredibly harrowing yet moving. Not sure how anyone can describe it as 'dull'! Draven puts in a brilliant performance, and I just found the whole thing to be beautifully shot. Rented it but would definitely buy a copy.
