Critic Reviews for Fort McCoy

All Critics (6) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (3) | Rotten (3)

"Fort McCoy" is an obvious labor of love. That doesn't make it a good movie, but it's a nice sentiment all the same.

Bill Goodykoontz
Arizona Republic
The period details are so lovingly burnished in this uneven, if heartfelt, feature that for a while they threaten to overpower the story, which delves gently into a rarely explored aspect of the war.

Sheri Linden
Los Angeles Times
A heartfelt, personal film with great performances aims for the stars and falls back to earth.

Karsten Kastelan
Hollywood Reporter
An old-fashioned, appealingly sentimental drama about homefront life during WWII.

Joe Leydon
Variety
If the film has a major flaw, it's the profusion of subplots in a 100-minute running time. Still, it is a real accomplishment.

Steve Erickson
L.A. Weekly
Writer and co-director Kate Connor's debut feature "Fort McCoy" is an example of what happens when you try to shoehorn as many topics and themes from WWII as you can into one movie.
