Medal of Honor

About This Movie

So, 'Medal of Honor' is an interesting one. It’s got this underlying, quiet drama that unfolds through the lens of a 75-year-old retiree who stumbles upon a Romanian Medal of Honor. The film captures the complexities of family dynamics and respect—or the lack thereof—with a somewhat slow but intentional pacing that draws you in. The atmosphere feels a bit heavy at times, but in a way that really highlights the protagonist's internal struggle. The performances are quite grounded, and you can sense the weight of the character's past. It’s not flashy, which I think adds to its charm. There’s a certain authenticity in the practical effects and how they depict the emotional weight of the situation. Anyway, it’s a thought-provoking watch, for sure.
