Review of Sweet Country (2018)

By Chris Knight (998) for National Post (1,405) on 12 Apr 2018

Thornton sets the stage carefully, sometimes snapping us into flashbacks and flash-forwards that only become clear the second time we see them…

Review of Sweet Country (2018)

By Kevin Ritchie (37) for NOW Toronto (1,621) on 11 Apr 2018

Sweet Country is a gorgeous and scathing revisionist western, but one that doesn't entirely trust its audience…

Review of Sweet Country (2018)

Review of Sweet Country (2018)

Review of Sweet Country (2018)
