A Face da Guerra

Not a big budget and clearly working with limited resources. But solid nonetheless.

I think this is one of those films that will hold your attention throughout if you understand what's going on. If you've had ptsd then you'll understand and follow it, the silences, the feelings when everything is standing still but people are carrying on as normal and you realise you've sat in your thoughts for hours. I can only imagine how these guys adjust to life.

So underrated! very emotional; i am a Veteran... i know...

Waste of time, it's disgusting. Don't waste your time like me

If you have ptsd, you will relate completely to the protagonist.

Survivors guilt, inability to reconcile the chances that led to survival and descent to dispair.

Inability to connect to loved ones, regular life and suicidal ideation / action.

Is it perfect? No. But those complaining about back and forth...., you are fine then trauma occurs and you relive things. That's why the film is created that way.

Only accepting what happened and confronting it helped.

Watching the journey of the protagonist was excruciating. Particularly when he was going to meet his wife and stopped for a drink.

This wasn't a large budget blockbuster but it does a better job of depicting trauma than most films to date.
