   Is the Promised Land a good movie?

   • The Promised Land makes for a gripping man-versus-wilderness survival story with unmistakable political undertones, but it’s also nimble enough to allow romance to blossom under its slate-grey skies, when the sweetly abashed Captain catches the eye of his steely new hire (Amanda Collin) and de Schinkel’s poised fiancée (Kristine Kujath Thorp).

   Is the Promised Land based on a true story?

   • Nikolaj Arcel’s “The Promised Land” is aptly titled. Adapted from the 2020 novel “The Captain and Ann Barbara,” by Ida Jessen, the land itself — the untamed heath of Jutland, the peninsula that makes up the continental portion of Denmark — proves to be both setting and character: as mercurial, tormented and blood-stained as anyone in this tale.

   Does 'the Promised Land' really work?

   • It’s a wonder that “The Promised Land” works as well as it does. Directed by Nikolaj Arcel, the film takes place in 18th century Denmark, when agricultural reforms cracked the rigid social hierarchies, where the rich lived in luxury and the “little people” were practically in a state of serfdom.

   How many movies are in the Promised Land?

   • “The Promised Land” is about ten movies in one. It’s a history lesson with a central figure driven by an impossible quest. There are bands of outlaws, sadistic aristocrats, and downtrodden peasants. There’s a little romance, a lot of torture, as well as a feisty runaway child. Historical epics like this really aren’t made anymore.
