SweetLand-you wont forget it!
I went to this movie after hearing a John Heard interview on the radio. This was the best movie I've seen all year!! It should receive Oscars at many levels for the writing, performance, cinematography, etc. Perhaps I'm biased by my own Norwegian heritage, but I thought the way the story was told in different timeframes really allowed you to see the impact of the two central characters. And as love stories go, this one demonstrates so well that love can overcome so many obstacles. Finally, it appeals to us to appreciate our ancestors' hard work from a fresh perspective.
Do go see this, bring your family and friends, and some kleenex!
