Info

Meghan Doherty is a young, talented executive who neglects her mother and close friends to focus on one goal MAKING MONEY. After closing a multi-million dollar deal Meghan is asked by Mr. Randolph Whitaker (her boss/CEO) to close a deal of a lifetime. She's taking her talent to the Mojave Desert in hopes of getting a Christian land owner to turn over his land before auction. With a $100 million dollar potential deal looming, there is nothing that will stand in the way of her getting what she needs to further her career. Not even GOD? The foreclosed land in question, called God's Country, is owned by Eden Graham, a minister who runs a youth camp there, along with his wife and son, Jake. Upon arrival at the camp in her Ferrari and designer clothes, Meghan is clearly not a good fit, but Eden persuades her to stay; he promises to sign over the property to her if, during her weeklong sojourn there at the camp, she is not convinced of the value of what they are doing.

God's Country Audience Reviews

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
bradjunkm I don't write reviews (this is my first!), but I feel compelled because the obviously shill reviews for this movie convinced our family to waste our time to watch this movie. We enjoy faith-based movies - have seen some really good ones (War Room, Love Comes Softly series, Facing The Giants, Flywheel, God's Not Dead series, Hoovey, The Grace Card, To Save A Life, The Secret's of Jonathan Sperry, Believe Me, A Matter of Faith, to name just a few). We've also seen some really bad ones, but this may be the worst! The acting is painful and cringe-worthy. The writing and directing just awkward and disjointed. The "Christian" lines inserted in this movie make it seem like an attempt to "Christianize" a film to sell to Christians! Our family agreed - watching a movie like this gave us an appreciation for the art of making a watchable movie, let alone a good or great movie.Most of all, we feel cheated by whomever wrote all these "outstanding" reviews, and wasted our time on this movie. "Outstanding" compared to what?! We can account for different tastes in movie appreciation and reviews, but this is clearly not even close to an "outstanding" movie, and in fact - compared to the films listed above - not even passable. If this even was an earnest attempt at a Christian film (and that is in great doubt), the phoniness of acting, lines, plot guarantees delivering nothing "moving" about this film. The Spirit definitely "passed over" this one!
gdeller170 Jenn Gotzon and the cast did an amazing job of bringing forward what is truly important in our short time on this earth...Its about honoring God's glory, removing ourselves from the worship of worldly possessions and re-aligning our lives.The crew have their heads focused on helping others and even created a ministry to help aspiring actors...truly inspiring! A stand out movie to watch with family who think they "have it all" when they actually have only material items and not a true understanding of Love/Appreciation/Guidance.Well done Jenn and crew!!
Richard Larsen God's Country is a solid family film masterly told by director Christopher Armstrong. With sweeping scenery shots, subtle symbolism and a score that really sets the tone, it is obvious Armstrong is on top of his craft. With a strong cast lead by up and comer Jenn Gotzon, your heart strings will be tugged as she confronts what is actually important in life. Gotzon plays a talented executive with a cold heart that slowly starts to melt as she experiences the beauty and atmosphere of, God's Country, a Christian camp in the Mojave Desert. Gotzon brings the character alive with her subtle expressions and reactions as you watch the arch of the character develop throughout the film. Without such a talented cast and talented direction, this film could have easily slipped into another substandard indy film but doesn't and yields good family entertainment.
cfellwock Bravo to director Chris Armstrong, in God's Country, the actual location becomes a character in the movie, it was as if God himself was slowly speaking through the retreat center and the land. You can clearly see the director raising the bar in cinematography and turning a simple story into a memorable movie. Excellent job by Jenn Gotzon in portraying amazing change and redemption, reminding us that independent Christian films can have great performances. The overall cast was cleverly written, acted and directed to show the main characters breakdown of all the areas in her life that needed to be given back to God. Overall a great family movie that is easy to identify with and leave us with the timeless principle of "God's unique timing, economy and grace".
