Its easygoing structure may also be what makes it feel so intimate. Davis and Einhorn — both of whom are New York Times reporters — don’t have to spell out codes of masculinity, familial duty and love for one’s country. Instead, we’re allowed to bear witness as Eisch and his family show us what those values mean to them.

simple yet powerful. Even if it deliberatly manipulates the viewer by eschewing the most unflattering intimate scenes, it says a lot about military life. This should have been a series instead of a movie. Quite unusual for Netflix
