Brilliantly acted and directed, a memorable and realistic drama
9 November 2019
This is one of those memorable movies that you will remember for years to come as it is such a deep movie about broken people like the character in this movie that suffers from PTSD, it's a very serious matter and something that the people should get all the help they can and need. Debra Granik does a magnificent job at writing and directing this adaption of Peter Rock's novel, she gave the movie this realistic feeling like we are watching a biopic as it could very well be people that have the same circumstances like Will and Tom that is played brilliantly by Ben Foster and Thomasin McKenzie, Ben's performance is award worthy, it's a great and important performance. The director did right with turning down the dialogue as it did feel more realistic and it also gave the actors the chance to really act and not just speak which I always enjoy.

There's not many times I agree with critics now days but they are right with this movie, it's great and has some of the best and most real acting I've seen. It deserves more than it's imdb score (7.2) as of 10th November 2019. It's a wonderful and realistic yet a bit depressing tale of a father of a bond that a Father with PTSD has with his daughter, as she is what keeps him going.
