Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
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.

fresh:
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.
– Desmond Ryan,
Philadelphia Inquirer,
7 May 2013
fresh:
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.
– Jay Boyar,
Orlando Sentinel,
7 May 2013
rotten:
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.
– Dave Kehr,
Chicago Tribune,
7 May 2013
rotten:
Norman Jewison usually is a commanding storyteller, but In Country is a film with two stories that fail to add up to something greater.
