A strong character study, focused on the two leads. Well supported by beautiful cinematography and soundtrack. A realistic telling of the processes and time involved in healing from traumatic experiences.

The performances are good but the film ultimately failed to engage. I'm not sure why - the characters were interesting enough - but I couldn't get invested in what was happening on screen.

Expertly acted and it dilutes the depressing nature and serious tone with some well placed moments of levity. Worth watching for the effortless chemistry of the leads. Has its flaws, but a well made indie. 6.7

Jennifer Lawrence can lay down on a bed and stare out of a window and it'll still feel special. Great performances by both leads.

"It would be good to have someone around. Have coffee with in the morning. Smoke in the evening. Cook dinner sometimes."

I didn't have many expectations as this movie was not on my radar. I thought it was going to be an overly-praised, boring movie. However, I'm pleasantly surprised by how engaged I was in this. My eyes were fixated on the screen by the beautiful but tragic characters finding a bond for their pain.

It's a patient character-driven film, with two fantastic and subtle performances from Jennifer Lawrence and Brian Tyees Henry. As a performer myself, it was a joy to see character choices that may be small but are significant and robust. Especially Brian Tyees Henry, who would be drinking throughout most of the film, and the way he lays his head on the beer bottle, almost like a pillow, is the only comfort in his life that makes him feel something in parts where he feels nothing.

There is always something compelling and emotionally moving watching two broken people find solace with each other.

Ultimately this film is boring and slow, nothing happens, but that's not the problem. It wants to be a deep and interesting character study, but it doesn't manage to do that. Jennifer Lawrence’s character is supposed to seem troubled and dealing with trauma but instead just comes off as detached and bored, there's seemingly nothing to explore. Also, it would be basically impossible for me to sympathize with former American military. Now I know this movie is obviously anti-war but there's something romantic and wistful about Lynsey's eagerness to return to Afghanistan.

[tv+] The film wins with the presence of Jennifer Lawrence and her character wins with an interpretation in which corporeality, gestures and expression say much more than words. In this sense, the character of James/Paper Boi sometimes seems unnecessary, as an interlocutor who mainly serves to enhance the interpretation of the protagonist. It's an intimate and lonely movie, like Lynsey's PTSD, but at times it seems too absorbed in melodrama.

I’m glad I ignored most of the reviews and rating this movie has gotten so far. I watched it based on the strength of the leads, and really enjoyed it. It is a bit down beat, but it’s a great character driven story, well acted and beautifully shot.

A very slow and quiet slice-of-life drama dealing with trauma and friendship. We follow two individuals with traumas trying to live with it and get past it. Jennifer Lawrence and Brian Tyree Henry both deliver amazing performances and their chemistry is palpable. Lawrence had even greater chemistry with her characters brother in this. We only see him for a couple minutes but damn that was some of the best brother sister chemistry i've seen on screen. The relationship she has with her mother was also very relatable. I feel like it didn't give enough of an emotional impact for me but still it was pretty solid.

Great acting and nice cinematography. But overall a really really slow moving film that doesn‘t offer much.

watched the movie because of Jennifer Lawrence. The overall topic was interesting but for my taste a little bit too long-tailed. The last 20mins were my favourite from the whole movie :D

Ugh... this movie fell apart for me about 1 hour 10 minutes in [spoiler] - she clearly stated she was a lesbian earlier in the movie and yet when she comforts the male protagonist she goes in for a hug AND A KISS saying "I did it because I felt bad for you"?!?!?!? This is just a stupid way to cause conflinct in the story and out of character for someone who said she "only had girlfriends". Guess it would've worked if she had any other sexual orientation [/spoiler] Other than that it was a pretty decent movie

Two great acting performances and a worthy vignette.
