Canada Movie Reviews of CountryMovie Review: Outstanding Disney film
Along with "Night Crossing," "Tex" and "Never Cry Wolf," "Country" is one of the early Disney serious attempts at broadening their motion pictures beyond the slapstick comedies of the '70's, as well as broadening their audience to anything other than kids bored during the summer. Several of these "in-between" films were serious flops (but not all without things to admire), including "Something Wicked This Way Comes," "The Black Hole," and "Trenchcoat." Most of these films filled the gap between Disney's Ron Miller era and the Michael Eisner era--set in motion by the previous studio heads, and completed under the current studio heads. Of course, Eisner and Co. weren't particularly interested in these films, as they had little to do with them. Still they were released, and some found admiring critics, if not droves of ticketbuyers. "Country" is a beautifully shot, written, and acted film that honestly deals with the pain of family farming under the dreadful reagun administration. Sincerity is the key, here. No Hollywood hokum. And one of the BEST tornado sequences in motion picture history. |
