Belvaux has made a gutsy, discomfiting movie about going along to get along, and just how dangerous that impulse can ultimately be.
This Is Our Land emerges as a vital portrait of political machination, human duality, the power of fear-mongering and how people can reflexively divide into "us and them."
The drama is well-paced, and all of the actors are wonderful. Mr. Dussollier, a regular presence in the late works of Alain Resnais, is resourceful in communicating Berthier’s disturbing dual nature, and Ms. Dequenne remains appealing even when her character is making the most grievously ill-advised choices.
This is Our Land’s biggest flaw lies in the bluntness of its message and approach.
We are left to rue This Is Our Land as an opportunity missed, and to wonder how else the tale could have been told.
Throughout the film, Lucas Belvaux sidelines the emotional textures that might complicate all his sermonizing.
