2.5/5
"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. Go to Full Review Sheri Linden Los Angeles Times 08/14/2014
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. Go to Full Review Karsten Kastelan The Hollywood Reporter 08/13/2014
A heartfelt, personal film with great performances aims for the stars and falls back to earth. Go to Full Review Steve Erickson L.A. Weekly 09/22/2014
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. Go to Full Review Kevin Jagernauth The Playlist 08/23/2014
