This Is Not a War Story

Awkward considering the Director/Main Character has no military background so her portrayal of PTSD is overdramatized. I liked the documentary part of it but that's what this should have been from the beginning with no fictitious story and vision from a director who has no real to life idea what military vets actually go through mentally after service.

I told a friend of mine who served in the Marines to watch this and tell me what he thought and he said it was the worst acting he had ever seen of somebody trying to portray the "look" of PTSD and she seems like she had the mentality of someone who never should have joined the Marines or the Military if she wasn't prepared for the things she was going to see or do.

Just seems like she "Used" the military and vets so she can tell her crazy person love story.

If you want to see a real documentary about what vets go through watch (Father Soldier Son) or (restrepo) instead.

Just avoid this one because it's misleading.
