A sincere, slow-moving, occasionally successful film devoted to one specific homefront story. That, in itself, is noteworthy. Read full review

My reservations about Copperhead are outweighed by the noble intentions that inspired it. Read full review

Director Ron Maxwell’s adaptation of Harold Frederic’s 1893 novel elicits a certain amount of admiration for its old-fashioned carpentry and earnest, worthy approach, but its stilted dramaturgy and endless speechifying defeat the committed efforts of a sprawling ensemble. Read full review

It’s a maudlin, meandering bit of moviemaking that sheds little light on the loyal opposition in the North. Read full review

Director Ron Maxwell (Gettysburg, Gods and Generals) shows a flair for mythologizing via beautiful panoramas of upstate New York landscapes but less so, unfortunately, through his film's inert story and flat performances. Read full review

Painfully lugubrious, any sting Copperhead might contain for its contrarian's view of history is undone by its wayward sense of storytelling. Read full review
