In My Country

An earnest but awkward drama set against the Truth and Reconciliation Commission hearings, which aimed to heal emotional wounds in post-apartheid South Africa, In
My Country
can’t overcome the disjointed pairing of its leads: supple French actress Juliette Binoche and strident American star Samuel L. Jackson. She’s a soft natural presence, while he specializes in harsh theatricality. From director John Boorman (Deliverance, The Tailor of Panama).
