The award winning motion picture about a Marine veteran facing a new struggle at home. Just back from combat, a young Marine veteran faces a new battle to find purpose in the mundane existence of civilian life while struggling through a shattered economy while burdened by the physical and emotional scars of war.
The premise to this flick is pretty good, but the execution (acting, editing) is pathetic. Someone like Kelly Reichardt (Old Joy), Harmony Korine (Gummo) or Sean Baker (Florida Project) might have done something useful with it. Better send Geoff Ryan back to film school.
This just kept missing the mark. Had trouble trying to feel sympathy for the vet. The "love" relationship wasn't the least bit believable. The older vet was a caricature. Nothing really worked.
