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 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.

Wonderfully acted and brimming with steamy, sexual tension, God’s Own Country deserves its spot on the list of seminal queer cinema.

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.

Beautiful love story between a sheep farmer and a farm worked, pretty sure I'm going to go work on a farm now to find my husband.

This beautiful and brave film takes a huge leap of faith in the magic of the two lead actors, and the eloquence of the countryside. The script is shockingly spare, but we are shown everything that leads the days on, and leads to the love.
