Astonishingly Eye Opening

I absolutely loved this piece for how it explored the effects of PTSD in real life without Hollywood glamourising it. I was taken in immediately by the intense yet subtle performances and was unwaveringly engaged throughout. I have been waiting to see this for a while now and it did not disappoint. The direction and cinematography allowed for the feel and storytelling of a feature length all within the time of a short. This can also be credited to the perfectly fast paced writing which kept me on the edge of my seat. I will absolutely be rewatching and would recommend this to anyone not only because it entertains but also is a real eye opener in terms of the effects of PTSD.

Gripping from start to finish!

Such a beautifully written and shot short film! I was unable to take my eyes balls off the screen it was that gripping! With such a real insight on how PTSD affects people when coming back to normal life. Emotional and a must watch short film.

With the flashbacks going back to action and then real life puts you instantly in the mind frame and your taken along this journey with the protagonist. Then all the way back home and the comparison is mind boggling to see.

Really enjoyed watching this and hoping a full length film of this will be in the works!

Massive well done to the whole team for putting this beautiful short together! BRAVO.

Beautifully Shot

This film focuses on the effects of PTSD from war and the intergration back into society and family life. It is an important watch and very eye opening, It's good to see a film which focuses on mens mental health and how difficult it can be to open up to anyone or to ask for help when really needed. Dann's performance is truly heartbreaking to watch. You really are taken into the claustrophobic lonely place that PTSD causes.

The film is an intense watch but in the best way. Really beautiful cinematography and great acting from all characters. The ending is open to the viewers interpretation... which is something I really enjoy whilst watching any film. Would absolutely recommend!

Raw and Emotional

Absolutely amazing movie. So gritty and real. The way it handles the effects of PTSD, its so grounded and emotional. The cinematography is outstanding, really makes the movie pop. The writing is superb and the acting is engrossing. The way the whole thing is shot from start to finish is done in a way that is so emmersive, it really gets you into the story, helps you understand what's happening and evoke the emotions of it all. The time passed so quickly watching it, I was left wanting more. Honestly this is such a hard hitting piece, I believe the people behind it will be doing great big things very soon.
