"The Land of Owls is a well-shot, superbly acted little indie that invites us to understand what couples therapy
is,
without ignoring the potential dangers.
This is a thoughtful, often engrossing film, and worth recommending to cineastes who still fly the flag for intelligent, sensitive fare." -Film Authority

The Land of Owls follows a pair of Brooklyn couples working through their
relationship issues at an upstate retreat.
In the isolation of the Catskill Mountains, the retreat leader pushes the couples through a weekend of exercises that force them out of their comfort zones. Removed from the routine distractions of city life and engaging in honest communication for the first time, they have a chance to rebuild their partnerships – or to leave them behind.

"Like a gentle, loping folk song, The Land of Owls is a definite mood.
A measured alternative to the blockbuster action and spectacle fare of summer, writer-director Patrick Letterii’s feature debut evokes the tranquility and reflection one might garner on a hot, lazy weekend spent at a rustic Catskills retreat...a subtle, elegant dance that rewards sincere reflection."
-MetroWeekly
"The film uses its ethereal setting and mystical score to craft an almost illusionary and suspicious tension throughout. What makes it a refreshing viewing experience lays within the
honesty and realness it portrays.
Letterii does well to reflect relationships that feel real and relatable."
-Screen Queens
