A treacly story of acceptance, forgiveness, and the like, Sweet Land stars Elizabeth Reaser as a German mail- order bride who arrives in a Norwegian-immigrant village in 1920s Minnesota, only to be shunned by the preacher (John Heard).The part about her being a Teutonic socialist (read: devious!) got lost in translation when her marriage to Olaf (Tim Guinee) was arranged. And so she must prove herself worthy — which she does, naturally, by helping Olaf harvest hay. EXTRAS Commentary by director Ali Selim, Reaser, and others, plus a basic making-of. C+
