There's some real strong humour here amongst a great depiction of the problem that war has on the individual and family life.
The father and son relationship and the impact this has on the son's wartime experience is amazing and critical.
The mother's role is expertly handled by Kathy Bates and is equally pivotal to the father's key role deftly delivered by Martin Sheen.
The language is choice and so heartfelt as the film tackles the issue head on. The ending isn't sugar coated which is a big tick. Humour and pathos abound.
