Sweet Land

While cooking dinner yesterday I watched a beautiful movie called Sweet Land. It's a story of how love grows between two people through service. The Netflix synopsis explains the film this way:

Norwegian-American farmer Olaf Torvik and his rural Minnesotan community must struggle to overcome years of anti-German propaganda and prejudice when he discovers that his mail-order bride, Inge, is not only a German but also an accidental Socialist.

Sweet Land was a delight to watch. This movie expects the audience to think and wants you to experience the story rather than sit back and just watch. I thought the performances were subdued, but well done. The scenes were breathtaking. And the love story was real. Check it out and tell me what you think.
