Before watching the movie I thought this was going to be the protagonist struggle with their sexuality and religious belief, the title also alluded to that but throughout the movie, I failed to find such a correlation. In the end, the question of what’s “God’s own Country” lingered around? A way to look at is that it means heaven but what I took from it was more the “silence” in the scenes with the movie. The “silence” was, at least to me, when I soaked in all the emotions and the nature of Yorkshire. “Silence” is the place we are closest ourselves or one might say to God. The characters as well seem to be struggling with their own self, sexuality, and struggles of not disappointing the people around them. Thinking about all of these problems in our heads is where the silence comes in. This has been one of the most thought-provoking or “strong” movies I have seen.
