Copperhead is unlike any Civil War movie to date. A story of the violent passions and burning feuds that set ablaze the home front during the Civil War, Copperhead is also a timeless and deeply moving examination of the price of dissent, the place of the individual amidst the hysteria of wartime, and the terrible price of war. Based on the extraordinary novel by Harold Frederic, which the great American critic Edmund Wilson praised as a brave and singular book that "differs fundamentally from any other Civil War fiction," Copperhead is the story of Abner Beech, a stubborn and righteous farmer of Upstate New York, who defies his neighbors and his government in the bloody and contentious autumn of 1862. With Copperhead, director Ron Maxwell, who with Gettysburg and Gods and Generals established himself as our foremost cinematic interpreter of the American Civil War, takes on the War from a stunning, unexpected and richly, unforgettably humanist angle. Copperhead is a parable of the Civil War and perhaps for our own time.(c) Film CollectiveMovie Title : Copperhead

Review For Movie Copperhead
So much taste and intelligence went into these finely wrought costumes, props and sets in order to tell a story of such tedium.Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post
Though the tale, based on a novel by Harold Frederic, remains relevant to our time, the film is too self-conscious and tedious for the message it delivers.
Neil Genzlinger-New York Times
If every war has more than one side, this story of one man who dares to stand against the tide of history has a contemporary relevance that remains uncontested.
Rex Reed-New York Observer
Sluggish drama ... defines this morality lesson about the unimpeachable virtue of loving thy neighbor.
Nick Schager-Village Voice
Less like a peering examination of the turbulent political environment than a reenactment of a Ken Burns documentary-or a museum tour.
Matt Patches-Time Out New York
Aside from the PBS-re-enactment music, the film's primary problem is that it lacks a clear central plot.
Kerry Lengel-Arizona Republic
I wish "Copperhead" were better, because it tells a story we haven't seen before, and creates a world that films have rarely shown us.
Matt Zoller Seitz-RogerEbert.com
For this audience, Ron Maxwell's film will prove entertaining and though-provoking, at the very least. For the rest, it is unlikely to provide much dramatic sustenance.
Christopher Schobert-The Playlist
A work every bit as turgid and baldly sentimental as the centerpiece lecture at a convention of historical reenactors.
Brent Simon-Shockya.com
Its budgetary limitations show. Many scenes could have used additional takes to polish the performances, and the often-poor sound recording is a shortcoming, particularly with stylized period dialogue. The leads show surprisingly little range.
Frank Lovece-Film Journal International
Civil War drama may raise questions about history.
Sandie Angulo Chen-Common Sense Media
Despite good performances throughout the film, the pacing of Copperhead is slow, with many long takes and establishing shots that seem a bit over-indulgent.
Christine N. Ziemba-Paste Magazine
Ron Maxwell's film, from beginning to end, exudes all the excitement of a textbook history lesson.
Kenji Fujishima-Slant Magazine
