War

About This Movie

War (2017) dives deep into the complexities of mental health within a soldier's life. It’s set against a backdrop of a culture that shuns conversations about suicide, especially the suicide of a soldier—a heavy weight to carry. Rivo's character, shaped by his two tours in Afghanistan, feels authentic and raw, showcasing the haunting grip of post-traumatic stress disorder. The pacing is deliberate, allowing us to sit with the slow unraveling of Rivo and Hanna's relationship. There’s a somber atmosphere throughout, punctuated by moments that feel painfully real. The performances, particularly the raw emotion on display, are striking. It’s really a film that challenges societal norms and compels one to ponder the human cost of war.
