Joe's War (2017)
Shines a Light on the debilitating effects of PTSD
3 August 2023 - 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.
This film feels very real. It doesn't try to be a big, fancy blockbuster, it is an intimate portrait of one marine's coming home story & his struggles to find his footing while the horrors of war still play on in his mind. I found it to be heartfelt & powerful, it doesn't deal in easy answers or fairytale endings but sheds Light on the realities of PTSD. Every veteran has a story & sometimes that story hurts to much to tell even to the people closest to them. Coming home is just the start of the journey home for soldiers who may have survived war physically but are far from healing psychologically.
