"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.

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.

A heartfelt, personal film with great performances aims for the stars and falls back to earth.

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.

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.

A gorgeous indie film with an intimate lens into WWII on the home front. Masterfully explores the complexities of war. The cast led by Eric Stoltz is excellent with beautiful dialogue and lovely music from the era.

A beautiful film depicting WWII on the homefront. And based on a true story.

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.
