PROMISED LAND

Promised Land - Something about this pretty sounding and looking movie didn't come together for me.  It's somewhat slow moving which doesn't work for me any more, and the story is such that I kept looking for the lesson or the side I was supposed to be on, and even after the movie was finished, I still wasn't sure.  Which is probably why it's a critical success.  It didn't take sides too fanatically, and at the end of the movie, with the sides that were given, there is still much discussion to take place.  There is a message in here somewhere.   Is fracking bad or sometimes OK?  Are corporations saviors or users?  Are corporations honest or liars? Is life black and white?  What is exactly the promised land?
