Utterly unexpected epic story, profoundly moving yet never sentimental and never pretentious.... A doctor is healed by his connection with a group of rowdy soldiers....beautifully directed..astonishing central performances...beyond merely touching, truly joyful... Cuts right to the heart of loneliness, dread of intimacy and isolation and even manages to suggest a path out of the mess. All told with passion beneath the surface...moving, funny, sexy, devastating, and all when you least expect it...towering central performances and brilliant cameos.. The best film I've seen in years....absolutely not just for gay audiences as it achieves a remarkable human universality.
