A US soldier suffers a traumatic brain injury while fighting in Afghanistan and struggles to adjust to life back home in New Orleans. When she meets local mechanic James, the pair begin to forge an unexpected bond.
I feel like I really have to be able to relate to this more to fully enjoy it, not to say it was bad, I just think there’s more in this than I could recognize
Effective character drama with understated performances from both Jennifer Lawrence and Brian Tyree Henry. Feels rather slight for a drama surrounding characters processing their personal traumas and PTSD, but it’s an enjoyable watch. Actually really great to see Lawrence in a smaller film like this again. Her scene in the prison visiting with her brother was quite moving. Nothing monumental ground-breaking or awe-inspiring here, but a pleasant watch if you need one.
