In Country

Beautiful portrayals by the two stars

It&apos;s easy to see why so few people seem to have connected with this underrated movie. There&apos;s no nudity, no violence, no killing, no superstars chewing up the scenery. It is, instead, a quiet, maybe too slow-moving, film about a teenage girl at the cusp of womanhood trying to learn about what Vietnam had been like for her father, who was killed there. She also begins to see her ex-G.I. uncle clearly, for the first time, as a survivor of something terrible. 

In Country is about the Vietnam War only as in the sense that it&apos;s also about a family&apos;s history whose impact bridges the generations. It&apos;s less about events than it is about becoming a grown-up in an America that has a sixty-second attention span and a fifteen-minute memory. 

Emily Lloyd, who you&apos;d never guess is English, does a beautifully sensitive job in the starring role, and Bruce Willis, as her uncle, turns in a very fine, very dignified performance.
