3:29 i loved it when they both touch their faces at the same time. Alec with his beard and Josh with his eyes. And they’re talking about chemistry 🌸

[bojack]

This movie is incredible. A rare, authentic jewel of a movie.

[Who-qnfl]

Movie with probably the best ending i’ve seen in decade

[DiegoVeristain]

I find it incredible how the film industry is able to find two strangers from different places who maybe hadn’t met before and match them like puzzles creating a chemistry so natural it almost seem like they are a couple for real 😍

[roccodefinis]

As a queer person I have to say one of the best authentic films depicting gay romance. I was very touched by this film. And they do have amazing chemistry, and are amazing actors.

[edwardbaran]

great film, great actors and they do have a great chemistry!

[beatrizbarrios]

I saw this movie like 20 minutes ago and I loved it, Josh's perfomance is amazing and Alec's one stole my heart. But almost the last scene of Johnny and Gheorghe BRAVO so many emotions in that scene from Josh. Amazing movie.

[FluentlyFletch]

how Josh SMILED during the movie killed me, ugh it's such a BEAUTIFUL film they're such beautiful actors- heart-wrenching

[freakycandleshoe]

Subtle, quiet, non manipulative film with great performances. If Brokeback Mountain was done even more realisticly/naturally, it would have been this understated gem of a film.

[ianlovesmickey]

Josh and Alec have great chemistry in the movie.

[anakoz]

Just saw it tonight. Such a fantastic film.

[BekTatlun]

Gemma Jones acting was brilliant, you can see the frustration, the worries, the fear she has as a mother and a grandmother in the film.

[ybeesa]

Gorgeous actors! I watched this movie 2 months ago, and I still can’t get over it!

[gordygibson]

Gods Own Country is a brilliant movie with universal appeal. Highly recommended to everyone. Each viewing one realises the layers of plol and importance of detail to a fuller and better appreciation of this films brilliance.

[petroniaskho]

Just saw this tonight. Truly stunning. A masterpiece.

[jonathangill]

Omg who is that bubbly adorable guy next to Alec?? Talk about transforming into a different person for your character! This is the first interview I’m seeing of Josh and holy crap my respect for his performance just skyrocketed. I mean I know the whole point of acting is to be convincing but he like really *became* Johnny Saxby.

[winniejoshi]

This movie was so beautiful. 😭😍😍. Proof that no need for a sad ending in every movie

[monks]

Absolutely amazing film, with phenomenal performances. I must have watched it 8 times in the last 2 weeks. Johnny's coming alive was nothing less than spellbinding and wonderfully moving. One comes away with these two guys firmly planted in one's consciousness, wishing them the best.

[Cla_Disney]

Amazing film, very talented actors (and so handsome), beautiful love story set in breathtaking landscapes... Highly recommended

[bojack]

Amazing cast, amazing movie. I am forever a little in love with each of them.
