Los Angeles Times

If current American movie audiences showed more of an appetite for this kind of reflective political drama, a stateside remake of this engrossing, disturbingly credible film would seem like a natural.

The New Yorker

We are left to rue "This Is Our Land" as an opportunity missed, and to wonder how else the tale could have been told.

This Is Our Land may occasionally try to do too much, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't want someone to make an American version of this film and blast it into every multiplex in the country.

Filipe Freitas

Film Threat

The sad transformation of Pauline develops plausibly with the character constantly oscillating before a proud vanity for being chosen and a blind discomfort for the reactions around her decision.

Rated: 7/10

Graham Fuller

Culture Trip

Lucas Belvaux's film about a French town simmering in right-wing hate is a frightening sign of the times.

Film Inquiry

There's not so much a story arc as a mess of ideas that are thrown at the screen; some stick, some don't, which means that This Is Our Land is only ever sporadically interesting.

Tant qu'il parle politique, Chez Nous est absolument passionnant. En nous plongeant dans une petite ville du Nord, le film de Lucas Belvaux tente d'expliquer la montée de l'extrême droite dans notre pays et y arrive plutôt bien. Malheureusement, Belvaux s'encombre d'une histoire d'amour particulièrement loupée et ce n'est ni la faute d'Emilie Dequenne, excellente et Guillaume Gouix, mais bien d'un scénario qui passe à côté de ce qu'il aurait dû être (et qui tombe un peu dans la caricature avec le personnage d'Anne Marivin). André Dussollier, Catherine Jacob et Patrick Descamps sont remarquables.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
