The Promised Land Reviews

You’re telling me this is directed by the same guy that directed The Dark Tower adaptation?? An excellent 18th century danish period piece with Mads Mikkelsen as a veteran everyday man turned farmer set against the wicked racist rich. Serene cinematography and great score.

Stunning to look at, but brutal to watch. An intriguing story, great acting and a villain so annoying you’ll want to jump into the screen. 8/10 for the potato hustle!

It’s in Danish and German but has good subtitles (I watched on HULU). Acting is great and the story is very cool. Mads is a beast as usual and Amanda Collin was an awesome surprise. The film does a good job at showing farm life and prospecting while diving into powerful themes like family, love, and power.

It is a good length too… not too long not too short. Almost all scenes are great and have significance so there is no lousy bs and pomp. A raw and intense film that would be good for anyone interested in non-Hollywood/international films.

8.8/10

Amazing story, equal acting. Impressive

ولا تهمني القصة تابعته عشان مادس

Brilliant film starring Mads. Ludvig von Kahlen was such an interesting and well done character. A great portrayal of the story it was based on. Would recommend. (Bonus: you get dishevelled Mads in this too.)

Another fantastic performance by Mads...really good flick

An incredible movie, but far from enjoyable

Liked it very much, i think its a realistic story. The actors were fantastic. I love mads mikkelsen

This was hard to watch, and It’s a great movie, but the injustices get into my nerves, and honestly I didn’t left out of the movie theater in a very great mood, so great movie but is a downer.

Cried for 2 hours after finishing this. Boring if you don’t like slower-paced and biographical movies, which I normally don’t! But i’d do anything for Mads Mikkelsen, really.

Very typically European movie. Grey, emo and dramatic.

The only thing carrying this film is Mikkelson. I watched the film for him and nothing else. Although, give it a chance if you are interested in historical/country period films.
