A female Afghanistan veteran engaged in a secret relationship with her dead best friend from the military confronts her Vietnam vet grandfather at the family’s ancestral lake house. Morgan Freeman and Ed Harris previously starred together in Gone Baby Gone (2007).. This film offers a raw, emotionally charged depiction of how people deal with pain, mixing it with a soundtrack that seamlessly fits both its unfolding timeline and complex characters. Thanks to the perfectly paced editing and the unexpected ending, it forces the viewer to think deeply about their own emotional experiences. The performances are top-notch and bring to life a fresh and much-needed perspective on military stories. Its authenticity, powerful storytelling, and innovative approach make it stand out and redefine the genre in a way that resonates long after the creators have left.
