"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.

Rated: 2.5/5

Los Angeles Times

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.

A heartfelt, personal film with great performances aims for the stars and falls back to earth.

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.

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.

Rated: D

A gorgeous indie film with an intimate lens into WWII on the home front. Masterfully explores the complexities of war. The cast led by Eric Stoltz is excellent with beautiful dialogue and lovely music from the era.

Sublime film that takes place the summer of 1944 in America during the height of WWII. Excellent performances from the ensemble cast led by Eric Stoltz. Beautiful music, costumes and all the period details, and a wonderful script exploring the effects of war on soldiers and citizens alike.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
