General Admission:  First come, First served seating

Francis Lee, 2017, UK, 104 min

The comparisons to Brokeback Mountain are obvious, but GOD’S OWN COUNTRY paves its own way through the lush Yorkshire countryside. Johnny is tasked to tend to the family sheep farm with his ailing father and nagging grandmother looking on. Family stress takes a toll on Johnny, which leads to him drinking himself sick nightly and hooking up with random guys. His father arranges for a farmhand to assist Johnny, and Gheorghe from Romania comes into the picture. Johnny learns quickly that Gheorghe is no pushover, leading to some intense yet gentle unhinged passion between them. With a new renewed outlook on life, can Johnny become the businessman his father wanted, or will old habits haunt his and Gheorghe’s future? (DG)
