Chicago Reader

The movie earns its stripes only when Attie and O'Hara interview the weekend warriors and find their motivations to be more varied and legitimate than you might expect.

The Hollywood Reporter

The world of In Country may sound like a joke to outsiders, and may well be a misguided hobby for some of its subjects. But the film suggests we'd make a big mistake to write it all off as foolish fantasy.

New York Times

Are these re-enactors really as clueless as they seem, or is the portrait just incomplete? It's impossible to tell from this too-sparse film.

In These Times

At least In Country attempts an honest assessment of the various ways people respond to real and recreated combat. For some of them, war isn't always hell, or at least, other hells are worse.

Jeff Baker

Oregonian

It's sometimes effective, sometimes manipulative, contrasting life and death with a man holding a card that spells out how he's supposed to look when he pretends to die.

Rated: B

Avi Offer

NYC Movie Guru

Refreshingly non-judgmental and engaging on a visceral level, but low on insight and humanizing background info about its subjects.

Rated: 6.01/10
