A film of uncommon grace, one that transports you to an America that seems innately familiar even though you have never seen it depicted on-screen quite like this before.
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press

As opposed to the bulk of low-budget films, the look here is lush and beautifully crafted; even the make-up is excellent.
Tom Long, Detroit News

Terrific acting, a perfectly captured period setting, and a simple, aching farm courtship, that's all Sweet Land is.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Rotten
Sweet and low-key, Sweet Land is a movie that likely will leave you wishing you liked it more.
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
