Filmmaker Norman Jewison does a nice job of establishing the small town (and its myriad of denizens) in which Lloyd's affable character resides...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 13, 2019

There's a decency about this movie that's almost palpable. It's not trying to pump us up with false jingoism or the sins of the past. Jewison, a Canadian, probably approaches the entire subject with a mediatory mood.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 7, 2013

In essence, In Country is a well-turned variation on the quest to find a father that shows up in the folk tales of almost any culture.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 7, 2013

Jewison manipulates the audience's familiarity with this national monument to achieve the kind of dramatic pitch that the characters themselves could not attain.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 7, 2013

Unfortunately, the last half-hour slides into the weepiest sort of sentimentality.

| May 7, 2013

The scene at the memorial is one of the film's best, but director Jewison fails to find in it anything close to the level of emotional force that the same scene in Mason's book has.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 7, 2013

This is no tribute to the war dead, but an unthinking betrayal of them -- they've been drafted again, this time to supply a climax to a second-rate tearjerker.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 7, 2013

Sounds like your basic 온라인카지노추천 movie, sunk by noble intentions. But here well meaning translates into well done.

Lloyd, though technically adept, doesn't really get under her conflicted character's skin; the supporting actors (including Willis) are the film's greatest strength.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 16, 2009

Norman Jewison usually is a commanding storyteller, but In Country is a film with two stories that fail to add up to something greater.

Gripping performances save this post-Vietnam drama

Jewison's post-Vietnam movie concentrates on bereavement, with the consequence that it's decent but dull.

| Feb 9, 2006

A profoundly moving tearjerker about the festering wounds caused by the Vietnam War in middle America. A young Emily Lloyd is absolutely wonderful.

Willis is brilliant as a 'Nam veteran

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 27, 2005

An overlooked and underrated drama with Willis giving one of his finest performances.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 30, 2004

A powerful drama about one American family's attempt to release the grief and pain caused by the Vietnam war

| Jul 19, 2003

Jewison manages to save up all the emotion for the charged conclusion at the Vietnam memorial in Washington, but it's a case of too little, too late.

| May 24, 2003

In Country means to capture the deep tragedy at the center of pedestrian lives. Instead, it becomes a pedestrian film.
