“Caught the world premiere at the Seattle Film Festival. The cast and crew were fantastic. Not only is the acting and directing top notch, but the production value is second-to-none.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFilm provided a unique POV on veteran and immigration issues. Moments of unexpected humor and touching emotional echoes of war immediately hook you in.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFilm also did an excellent job tackling contemporary issues without a heavy hand. Mullin forces the audience to look at America in a post 9/11 world and, perhaps more importantly, at ourselves as Americans.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is the standard for independent film. 87 minutes that are well worth your time.”
