Was Once A Hero is well written tribute to those who deal with PTSD and/or some form of dementia. The characters are relatable, realistic, and just trying to get through day to day life. Darby Hinton's portrayal of a former civil soldier struggling with PTSD and dementia is spot on. Eliza Kelley, Julie Kasmanian, Rebecca Holden are equally as good in their performances. The musical score for this movie is beyond excellent. This movie has won several awards and they are well deserved. Dan Searles and Paige Smith have written a terrific screenplay about a tough subject. This is a must see movie!
