A group of U.S. soldiers returning from Iraq struggle to integrate back into family and civilian life, while living with the memory of a war that threatens to destroy them long after they've left the battlefield.
Along with a number of memorable supporting players, Miles Teller is heartbreakingly effective as a U.S. sergeant returning from his third deployment to Iraq with his limbs intact but a fragile mind and psyche. This is a movie about the horrors of war and the extremely difficult and sometimes insurmountable challenges faced by the young soldiers after the fighting has ended and they're back home. - Four stars
