Tanya’s Verdict: Anyone thinking this is an action-packed war movie would be sorely mistaken. This is a poignant and touching, sometimes funny but more often-than-not heartbreaking journey undertaken by a grief-stricken father. Characters engage in long yet interesting discussions that bring to light discrepancies, ideals, beliefs and dilemmas regarding war, duty and friendship. This film is thought-provoking as well as beautiful in its truth. I didn’t expect to love it as much as I did.
