When a college professor in the remote mountains of the American West confronts two hunters she catches trespassing on her property, she’s drawn into an escalating battle of wills with catastrophic consequences. GOD’S COUNTRY is based on the short story “Winter Light” by James Lee Burke.
“A film that understands both form and content, merging the two in a story that feels less like a piece of suspenseful entertainment and more like a warning.”
– Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com
“Newton’s performance…pack[s] a serious punch.”
– David Fear, Rolling Stone
