God’s Own Country (Francis Lee, 2017), 1:50am, Film 4
Frances Lee’s muddy country love story is a movie that could have been made with a little more conviction than Brokeback Mountain. Josh O’Connor plays Johnny, a grumpy young man who struggles on a “shithole” sheep farm in Yorkshire with his elderly nan and his stroke-stricken father.
