Film Review - Land (2021)
February 10, 2021
Honing her directorial chops during her stint on the T.V. show “House of Cards,” Robin Wright transitions to the big screen with “Land,” making her feature-length helming debut. She’s selected an emotionally wrenching picture about grief and isolation, gifting herself a role that’s largely internalized, while the Wyoming setting provides a backdrop of glorious nature to best emphasize such a private war. There’s not a lot of dialogue in the screenplay by Jesse Chatham and Erin Dignam, but such a challenge of communication doesn’t intimidate Wright, who delivers one of the finest performances of her career while also managing a refreshingly minimal tale of rebirth without dipping into maudlin storytelling. “Land” has real power even when stands absolutely still for lengthy periods of screen time.
