May 21, 2009'Sweet Land' is Ali Salim's dream movie that took 14 years to come to fruition. It is beautifully made and well acted but for me it was just a tad too slow.
-
January 15, 2009I Thought it was a good movie yet it was lacking in some parts. I really shows how small town America can be hostile to immigrants. Especially during the period the movie takes place.

December 26, 2008Elizabeth Reaser does an amazing job in her role as Inga [Inge?] and I couldnt think of a better person to play her. The actor for Olaf is pretty good to.

September 20, 2008Very good story, writing is good and music was excellent!
The non-understandable Norwegian and German conversations were a nice twist as well. -
August 24, 2008Okay overall, but the story line moved pretty slow and jumped from present time to past too much.

August 16, 2008My mom made me watch this... it makes no sense and half of it is in German or Norwegian. Crazy!

July 9, 2008I really liked this movie! If you like 'The Notebook', you will like this movie. It is that 'sort' of good movie. I loved the stair scenes, especially the last one. I guess I am kind of a romantic. Watch it, you'll love it!
Take care,
William
