⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

New Land, The (1972)

  • Criterion Collection, Troell, Jan
  • 1972, Jan Troell, Sweden
  • 2 Comments

4 stars

The second part to “The Emigrants” may not be as exciting or perilous for its lead characters, but its chronicle of 19th century America as an unforgiving world is difficult to surpass.
