Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard 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. Dec 15, 2010 Full Review Tim Robey Daily Mail (UK) There's committed work here from Joanne Froggatt as a soldier returning from Iraq and struggling to readjust, but the film lets her down... Rated: 2/5 Dec 9, 2010 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian A movie that delivers less than it promises. Rated: 2/5 Dec 9, 2010 Full Review Brent Simon Shockya.com 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. Rated: C+ Jul 11, 2011 Full Review Graham Young Birmingham Mail It's hard to have total sympathy with a psychologically-troubled mother who left her daughter to enter a war zone. Rated: 3/5 May 13, 2011 Full Review Alistair Harkness Scotsman A powerfully acted but melodramatically plotted effort exploring the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder among British squaddies returning from the Middle East. Rated: 3/5 Dec 13, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member A remarkable film, about guilt and duty, on many levels. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member After watching Route Irish I expected another similar Iraq movie. This was ten times better than that. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
