Scenario
Involved in a mysterious relationship with her dead Army best friend, an Afghanistan veteran confronts her Vietnam veteran grandfather at the family’s ancestral lake home. Morgan Freeman and Ed Harris previously starred together in Gone Baby Gone (2007). I saw this film at SXSW 2024, and it was by far the best film there (as also stated above). It’s based on a true story. It made me laugh, it made me cry, and it also made me think more about veterans and the challenges they face when they return from war. I’m trying not to give too much away and spoil it for other people, but if you’re going to watch this – please have a box of tissues nearby! The acting is incredible – with people like Morgan Freeman and Ed Harris, you can’t go wrong. I’m not as familiar with some of the other actresses/actors, but I definitely know their names now! They’re phenomenal. A must-see film with a very important message for the audience.
