Critic Reviews
-
Richard Nilsen, Arizona Republic
It shows what can go wrong when a good-intentioned filmmaker mixes historical tragedy with Hollywood banality.
-
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press
Ostensibly about the aftermath of apartheid, but the pain of a people serves only as a backdrop for the most contrived of love stories.
-
Bob Townsend, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Is it a docudrama about South Africa's post-apartheid Truth and Reconciliation Commission hearings? Or is it love story? The problem with In My Country is that it tries to be both.
-
Stephen Cole, Globe and Mail
Black, white and clunky.
-
Peter Howell, Toronto Star
Need[s] to be seen, as essential history and as demonstration of a form of social reckoning where compassion triumphs over passion, and the olive branch over the gun.
