Reviews


80
New York Daily News - Joe Neumaier
Krasinki's soft-sell script, lets the movie's ideas get absorbed without grandstanding or pretension. Its issues go down with a smile and common sense, which turns out to be exactly the right formula.
75
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers
Director Gus Van Sant finds the human side of a knotty issue. No polemics. Just the face of a new America in crisis.
67
IndieWire - Eric Kohn
Promised Land can't help but preach its cause in obvious ways that continually hold back an otherwise well-acted, swiftly paced drama.
60
The Hollywood Reporter - Todd McCarthy
Promised Land presents its environmental concerns in a clear, upfront manner but hits some narrative and character bumps in the second half that weaken the impact of this fundamentally gentle, sympathetic work.
50
The Playlist - Rodrigo Perez
It's Middle America vs. big bad corporate America, and while the (not so) "bad guy" predictably finds salvation in salt-of-the-earth people, Promised Land often leaves a sour taste in your mouth.
