The always-good Linda Cardellini and the always interesting Michael Shannon team up as a couple trying to put their life back together after Cardellini returns from a deployment. This movie continues the tradition of being a not-quite-there attempt to depict the drawbacks/realities of the endless Iraq/Afghanistan engagement.* Solid performances, slow plot, overall kind of just there.
Cost: free via work-sponsored Netflix.
Where watched: at home.
*I think there needs to be some distance from a war to really “get” it on film. And since this one is still going on, it’s difficult to have any distance.
