While I symphatized...this movie presents the worst that can happen to anyone..and I mean anyone. He needed help that for sure but didn't get it. He... needed God but couldn't recognize it. His wife is a stereotyped, uncaring, unloving, selfish person. too much..too much!!! Full Review

this movie clearly identifies the need for the human race to believe in God. To believe that God can make all things possible. To believe that God... oves us so much. That there is nothing God has given us that we cannot bear. This movie had me in tears. it had me begging the Lord for guidance. The acting in this was nothing short of brilliant and the movie itself, a masterpiece of the human soul. Full Review

It unflinchingly illuminates the toll exacted by the Iraq War in a raw, deeply personal and completely compelling manner.Full Review

Says many things at once without much perspective or clarity.Full Review

TV Guide

This overlong, mawkish yet weirdly mesmerizing film doesn’t just invite identification with its tragically unhinged character; it compels it, by piling on biblically horrible misfortunes, weepy confessions and editorializing music.Full Review

Matt Zoller Seitz
The New York Times

A strenuously solemn film that wants to create some kind of American pastoral tragedy out of the nation's current angst with the war.Full Review

Robert Koehler
