"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

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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Great movie See more richard c @RT45532162 11/08/2020 Nicely made independent movie touching on a subject seldom discussed in U.S. history books: POW camps on U.S. soil. This based-on-a-true-story tale nicely portrays semi-rural and military life in the Midwest during World War II. See more 05/05/2020 An absolutely beautiful and moving film. The details of the era are spot on. Loved it! See more Read all reviews
