Plot Synopsis

God’s Country‘s plot synopsis: “Based on a short story by acclaimed author James Lee Burke, God’s Country is a neo-Western thriller set in the snowy wilderness of the American West. Thandiwe Newton plays Sandra Guidry, a Black professor living and working in a rural college town. She discovers a mysterious red truck parked in her driveway and soon learns it belongs to a pair of local hunters seeking to enter the forest behind her house. Sandra turns them away politely but firmly – her experience tells her these are not the sort of men to welcome freely into her world. But they won’t take no for an answer, and soon Sandra finds herself drawn into an escalating battle of wills that puts her most deeply held values to the test.”

Review

FilmBook writer David McDonald reviewed God’s Country at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival and had this to say:

“The performances are uniformly excellent. The writing is lean and intelligent, with the themes sharply drawn. As a cautionary tale, this film would be in good company with Straw Dogs and House of Sand and Fog. As enjoyable and compelling as God’s Country is, its lessons are hard learned, and its intensity may not put one in the best of moods. As a cautionary tale with all of its misadventures in no uncertain terms, this film triumphs.”

On Movie Trailers

“A trailer (also known as a preview or attraction video) is a commercial advertisement, originally for a feature film that is going to be exhibited in the future at a movie theater/cinema. It is a product of creative and technical work…Trailers consist of a series of selected shots from the film being advertised. Since the purpose of the trailer is to attract an audience to the film, these excerpts are usually drawn from the most exciting, funny, or otherwise noteworthy parts of the film but in abbreviated form and usually without producing spoilers. For this purpose the scenes are not necessarily in the order in which they appear in the film. A trailer has to achieve that in less than 2 minutes and 30 seconds, the maximum length allowed by the MPA. Each studio or distributor is allowed to exceed this time limit once a year, if they feel it is necessary for a particular film.”
