Two young men, tending sheep in a picturesque mountainous setting, 
discover their forbidden physical attraction for each other.  No, this 
time it's Scotland, and, truth be told, GOD'S OWN COUNTRY is very much 
its own -- and quite watchable -- film.  (Its arrestingly graphic 
sequences all have to do with care of animals.)  Still, although it 
doesn't feel like a "gay-normative" flick, I can't pinpoint what 
narrative function the sexual orientation serves -- Montagues and 
Capulets, maybe.  Regardless, GOC is well-executed, and recommended.
