Lonesome Soldier

The cinematic production was truly magnificent, characterized by meticulously orchestrated cinematography. The discerning eye will delight in the abundance of underlying themes woven seamlessly into each frame. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is a condition individuals often grapple with in a private and intricate manner, making it challenging to articulate the depth of their personal turmoil. Witnessing this profound struggle depicted on the screen made me feel acknowledged and reassured that I am not alone in my experience. The intricately crafted shots, rich with profound underlying messages, have consistently captivated my senses, ensuring that even after the 5th or 6th viewing, my enduring fascination remains steadfast.

Watching this movie was truly riveting. To call the character Jackson Harlow aka Alexander Randazzo anything short of a true masterpiece of production and film is a misstep of massive proportion. From the realism of the situation Jackson finds himself in, to the true bond only brother of war experience together. Lonesome Soldier perfectly portrays the disease of which the soldier is infected by when you come back home from the sandy hell hole of Iraq. While the physical battle of war is over for Jackson the mental one is running rampant and part of what makes the film so impressive is Alexander Randazzo's ability to portray that the disease is winning. I will leave this review with one last thing, a soldier doesn't want to be called a hero, he just wants his dog tags...

This really movie hits home and we have a son in the Army. The entire cast did a great job. This movie is a must see. I can definitely relate to his mother. I did not want my son to join the Army, but now he is a changed man and still serving his country. He loves it. The cast made us feel every emotion throughout the entire movie. The visual effects and music made it very real. I loved how several of the cast members are actually veterans. This gave the movie real truth and positivity. I recommend this movie to all families of veterans and love ones that have PTSD. You will not regret your decision to watch this movie.

When watching this movie in theaters, I at first wasn't expecting much. But I have to say it gave me the most raw and real view of what PTSD is, and what our men, and their families go through after battle. I was so impressed not only by the intensity of the movie and acting, but also the well rounded stories of each of the characters and plot. It answered questions, and more importantly caused a person that is so unfamiliar and disconnected to the idea of war, to really think about the reality our soldiers face. I would highly recommend this movie, not only to be entertained, but to learn..........

Lonesome Soldier is a deeply moving film that brilliantly captures the harrowing journey of a soldier grappling with the aftermath of war. Alexander Randazzo delivers a powerful performance as Jackson Harlow, masterfully portraying the complexities of PTSD with authenticity and sensitivity. The supporting cast, especially John Ashton and Allison McAtee, provide compelling and heartfelt performances, adding depth to the narrative. Director Nino Aldi's storytelling is both raw and touching, making this a must-watch for anyone seeking a profound cinematic experience about the human cost of war.

I highly recommend it to anyone willing to attempt to try to understand what our Veterans go through.
