"God's Country" is a charming documentary that does well to capture just what it was like living in the small midwestern town of Glencoe, MN in the 1970's. A synopsis of the film may lead one to believe that the ending will be grim, but I didn't see it that way. Times change, and people must remain adaptable. Filmmaker Malle is bright, cheery, and curious throughout - indefatigable to the end, as though wishing to permanently lift the mood of his subjects.
