Incredibly moving, and strong

Rating: 10/10 (3 March 2015)

I somehow missed this movie when it was released. This is just a short comment as to the feel of this movie.
Others have covered the story etc perfectly. However, as a 40y old dad of a 4 year old only seeing this movie now it came across as incredibly strong and well directed. I found it very emotional to watch. Also, the movie was fairly balanced. It really "got" me. The tears wouldn't stop, and I wish I hadn't picked a week night to watch it.
It was a strong tribute to the men on both sides who fought an ultimately futile and pointless war. Politicians be damned.
I would recommend this over other war movies for its realism and also emotional approach.
