A couple of new reviews of Fort McCoy showed up on the web in the last couple of days. The first one is pretty short, but good, from Examiner.com:
The story’s the star of this period piece that captures the human drama on the homefront as few films ever have. It’s written by Kate Connor (who plays her real-life grandmother in the film and co-directs with Michael Worth) and you can catch it at the Newport Beach Film Festival, where it screens Apr. 30 and May 5.
The second review is at MovingPicturesNetwork.com. It’s mostly good.
Stoltz’s barber figure battles both internally with his German heritage and externally with protecting a beautiful wife in the midst of both servicemen and prisoners, and Connor does well to create additional points of conflict in the subplots of the film that provide key insight into the politics and the prejudices of the day. (…)
All told, Connor manages the multitude of her tasks with an effective enchantment, and there’s a strong heartbeat at the center of this film. An undeniable sincerity coupled with a solid cast list should help the film find fans on the festival circuit, and a smart distributor might see some solid VOD and home-entertainment returns from an acquisition of this title.
And the first promotional stills from Glee are out (embedded from Spoiler TV):
“Prom Queen” airs two weeks from now (Tuesday, May 10 at 8 pm).
