... it's decent!
All the performances in this movie were very good, I especially enjoyed Glenda Jackson's character.
I found it to be very moving, and much to my surprise caught me off guard on a few occasions, forcing me to well up a little.
The movie does well to respect both the difficulties of war itself, and the fall out of that, with respect PTSD symptoms. It's not heavy with any of that, but it's very nicely balanced between a sense of here and now, and a time long since past, at least as far as most viewers are concerned.
Michael Caine did a great job, and really did a lot to embrace the man he was portraying here, doing so very convincingly.
It's more of a Sunday on the couch sort of movie, however I was still pleased to have seen it in the cinema.
