Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard 12/15/2010
Welsh weakens his tale by making her man a brute and her situation enough to try a saint. But there is no doubting the strength of Froggart's performance. This is her film. Go to Full Review Tim Robey Daily Mail (UK) 12/09/2010

There's committed work here from Joanne Froggatt as a soldier returning from Iraq and struggling to readjust, but the film lets her down... Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 12/09/2010

A movie that delivers less than it promises. Go to Full Review Brent Simon Shockya.com 07/11/2011

A British coming-home-from-war drama that toes the line between the pedestrian and interesting, though tilting toward the former, In Our Name connects to the degree it does due to Joanne Froggatt's performance. Go to Full Review Graham Young Birmingham Mail 05/13/2011
3/5
It's hard to have total sympathy with a psychologically-troubled mother who left her daughter to enter a war zone. Go to Full Review Alistair Harkness Scotsman 12/13/2010
3/5
A powerfully acted but melodramatically plotted effort exploring the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder among British squaddies returning from the Middle East. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

12/13/2014 A remarkable film, about guilt and duty, on many levels. See more 05/31/2014 Somewhat extreme and unbelievable in its attempt to show the difficult adjustment to home life once again for soldiers returned from war, but at other times it makes some valid social commentaries. See more 06/09/2012 Worth a watch if only for the performances. Joanne Froggatt is outstandingly vulnerable yet tough. Mel Raido is creepy but watchable. Better UK indie than most. See more 02/22/2012 What begins as an intelligent and thoughtful drama (with a great understated performance from Joanne Froggatt) soon resorts to cliches and ultimately delivers less than it promises. See more 01/10/2012 Arresting tale of post-war syndrome, brilliantly acted and directed, but with a script full of generalisations and frequently problematic dialogue, the well established sense of realism is all too often broken, long before the wildly unbelievable final scenes. See more 11/23/2011 After watching Route Irish I expected another similar Iraq movie. This was ten times better than that. See more Read all reviews
