PTSD is a real thing.
Good, could have been great.
This movie has me split. The acting was incredible... The three main characters and the daughters. The plot was also on point. It wasn't overly dramatized. It felt real, as haunting as it is. I'm not a fan of 3 hour movies, but I felt this should have been one. At 2 hours and change, it felt even a little rushed for me. It could have used 20 minutes more before Sam arrives back home to drive home the relationship and 40 minutes more after to delve deeper into the PTSD. More interaction with Tommy and Sam after Dam's homecoming could have helped also. It might have been perfect. The ending felt a little forced. The acting was amazing...this was perfectly cast.
