On November 3, 2020, the most monumental presidential election in modern memory was held in the United States. Four years filled with partisan politics, constant news coverage, and a global pandemic led, finally, to a day that will go down in history. For some, it was indeed a meaningful day. Yet for others, it was a day like so many others, filled with the small trials and small victories that accompany daily life. This Land is a lyrical and poetic look at the lives of Americans from all walks of life. The film follows a Native American man as he grapples with his past, a same-sex couple on opposite sides of the aisle, a rodeo clown simply trying to be a good father, and more. This film not only captures history in the making, but explores what it means to be human.

Isaac Feldberg RogerEbert.com Despite its lyrical presentation, the film’s lingering ideas are straightforward and sentimental, arguably even self-serving. Rated: 2/4 Sep 7, 2022 Full Review Claire Shaffer New York Times Viewing the film in 2022, the high tensions and raw emotions it portrays can at times feel too close to home, but in the years to come, “This Land” may serve as an intriguing time capsule of the country during one of its most unusual elections. Sep 7, 2022 Full Review Christian Gallichio The Playlist It’s odd to watch a film so invested in the rhythms of politics that is also strangely apolitical. Instead, “This Land” foregrounds the people, more interested in how political beliefs manifest. Rated: C+ Sep 10, 2022 Full Review Joel Fisher Battle Royale With Cheese This Land has a more laid back and fly on the wall approach to its documentary style and with its relaxing feeling, it tells its audience that everything is going to be ok, just as it should Sep 9, 2022 Full Review Alan Ng Film Threat Visually, This Land captured every shot of its subjects like a piece of art and strung together like a poem or a portrait of this nation. It never goes to the extremes of devout patriotism or extreme anarchy. Rated: 9/10 Sep 6, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
