    I went in to _Sweet Country_ completely blind, had no idea what it was about, knew literally nothing beyond Sam Neill being in it, and the fact that it was called "_Sweet Country_" (good thing too, 'cause the trailer I watched for it a week later spoils literally the most important and final plot point). _Sweet Country_ is a slow-burn venture in the right way, that makes some odd stylistic choices which perhaps would have better served a different sort of movie. A distinctive film for a year that has had a lot of same-same movies. _Final rating:★★★½ - I really liked it. Would strongly recommend you give it your time._
