Corporate salesman Steve Butler (Matt Damon) arrives in a rural town with his sales partner, Sue Thomason (McDormand). With the town having been hit hard by the economic decline of recent years, the two outsiders see the local citizens as likely to accept their company's offer, for drilling rights to their properties, as much-needed relief.

Leave your thoughts about Promised Land.
| ComingSoon.netEdward DouglasThe refreshingly simple storytelling and authentic small town feel makes it a very special film indeed. |
| The Patriot LedgerAl AlexanderThe film never makes a convincing argument against fracking, probably because it's too busy being cloying. |
| Philadelphia WeeklySean BurnsThe road to movie hell is paved with good intentions. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifford...the film's biggest drawback is it's third act twist... |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip Martin... Van Sant's eye and sense of poetry no doubt elevate what's essentially an updated Frank Capra story ... |
| TV GuidePerry SeibertPromised Land actually delivers a compelling human drama along with its message. |
| Film.comAmanda Mae Meyncke...This is no vanity project, but a real, solid and legitimate piece of filmmaking. |

| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanUrgent, heartfelt, and not-quite-as-predictable-as-you-think environmental rabble-rouser. |
| Television Without PityEthan AlterDamon and Krasinski have the makings of a decent writing team, but their next script would benefit from a few more revisions. |
