YOU CAN GO HOME AGAIN...!

Rating: 10/10 (14 August 2018)

A companion piece to The Last Detail (written by Daniel Ponsican who co-scripted here) & directed by Richard Linklater details a trio of Vietnam vets escorting one of their sons home for burial who lost his life fighting in Iraq. Much like Detail, we get a sense of the lives lived since their wartime duty & how for some, things have moved forward while others are stuck in a perpetual cycle of pain & regret. A welcome vehicle for the 3 leads (Steve Carrell, Bryan Cranston & Laurence Fishburne) who perform w/the expertise & nuance you would expect. Another notch in Linklater's belt who at this point in his career seems unable to do no wrong.
