Review For Promised Land | |
| This is a solid if at times too conventional tale of a classic moral conflict. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com [It's mostly] a well-wrought drama that feels genuine as it goes about spinning a tale worthy of our challenging times. Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post Promised Land is more effective as an anti-fracking screed than as a drama. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor Damon and McDormand are terrific as co-workers seeking the same goal, though they see their work from different points of view. Connie Ogle-Miami Herald This isn't a movie about easy fixes, be they personal or political; it's a film about long-term problems. Tom Long-Detroit News Far too awkward and contrived a drama to change many hearts and minds. Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail Relateable Diana Saenger-ReviewExpress.com Promised Land is harmless but not compelling enough to warrant major attention. Nick Nunziata-CHUD ... leaves little doubt which side it supports in terms of the drilling debate, but the predictable approach of this clumsy redemption story makes its impact less convincing. Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com Touching and believable. Ron Wilkinson-Monsters and Critics The end result is simply a fracking mess. Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing While Damon and Krasinski have penned likable, real characters, the story surrounding them is only sporadically compelling. Chris Stuckmann-Moviedex A one sided look at the argument against drilling for natural gas; Damon needs to entertain and stay off his soapbox. Jackie K. Cooper-jackiekcooper.com A dishonest film about duplicity. Kirk Honeycutt-honeycuttshollywood.com Though the crusading pic against fracking has its heart in the right place, the respectable narrative is too preachy to be entertaining or convincing drama. Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews Damon and Krasinski have crafted a very well thought out tale, one that comes across as "Local Hero" meets "Erin Brockovich." Michael A. Smith-MediaMikes It's rather unfortunate to note that Promised Land eventually becomes as one-sided as its premise might've indicated... David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews The film has plenty of smarts, good writing and solid performances to win over most everyone. (Full Content Review for Parents also available) Jim Judy-Screen It! Promised Land actually delivers a compelling human drama along with its message. Perry Seibert-TV Guide's Movie Guide The drama can be funny and romantic and occasionally moving. It has a bigger message about fracking and the environment, and big companies and small towns, and while Promised Land is not a great film, such ambition is not its intention. Kirk Baird-Toledo Blade Promised Land doesn't offer great drama, nor does it offer the great debate on fracking that some viewers might have been hoping for. Yet, the film has lots of small moments that make it a worthy effort. Marjorie Baumgarten-Austin Chronicle Maybe it would just be easier to say that "Promised Land" is a movie that flirts equally with greatness and dreadfulness. Mathew DeKinder-St. Louis Post-Dispatch Promised Land attempts to present both sides of the argument while ultimately falling decidedly on the side of anti-corporatization.
