"If Matt Damon & Co. really wanted to make a movie that would scare American audiences off of fracking for good, they should have just made a movie dramatizing fracking’s potential threat to America’s beer. Instead, what we get is a quaint love story wrapped in a conspiracy movie, draped in a toothless political polemic, festooned with mawkish aimlessness."

— Our movie critic Asawin Suebsaeng reviews Matt Damon and Gus Van Sant’s new anti-fracking film Promised Land.
