Screenwriter Oren Moverman (I’m Not There, Married Life) moves into the director’s chair in his powerful and tender story about a war hero making his first tentative steps toward a normal life. Ben Foster (3:10 to Yuma) stars as a wounded young veteran whose final three months of duty find him assigned to the Army’s Casualty Notification Office, his job to personally notify the next of kin of a loved one’s death. Paired with career officer Tony Stone (Best Actor Nominee Woody Harrelson¬) who is trying to stay on the wagon, Will is challenged by his girlfriend’s pending marriage to another, and by the emotion of his work, especially when he is drawn to a war widow (Samantha Morton) whose subdued reaction to the news of her husband’s death surprises and fascinates him. This film is fully textured with humor, anguish and hope. *TWO OSCAR NOMS: Best Supporting Actor, Best Original Screenplay.
