The film earned a five and a half minute standing ovation at its Cannes premiere on Friday night.
Josh appears in nearly every scene, and during the applause cheers and roars for his part in the film were reported to be the loudest.
It was Josh's second film opening for the film festival, having had the premiere for the new gay romance, The History of Sound on Wednesday night.
Despite receiving a nine minute standing ovation, the actor missed out on the celebrations due to filming Steven Spielberg’s new movie.
In The History of Sound, Lionel (played by Paul mescal) and David (Josh), meet at music college, embark on a project to record the lives, voices and music of their friends and countrymen, and in the process forge a forbidden bond.
Josh has previously admitted he has 'mixed feelings' about playing gay characters despite starring in two homosexual roles.
Speaking to Vanity Fair, Josh said: 'It’s a really difficult subject. The truth is that ultimately I will read a script and what affects me, affects me.
The actor explained how The History Of Sound was also about grief, companionship and music as well as love.
Whereas his role is God's Own Country told the story of 'someone who was unable to love and be loved.'
He added: 'A character’s sexuality, a character’s background, where they’ve grown up, their dynamic with their family—these are all aspects to any character, and so I take those as seriously as I would any other aspect.
'But to be totally truthful, I’m not 100% sure how I do feel about it. I think I have mixed feelings.
