Happy New Year provides a rare glimpse into the darker ramifications of war that rarely take center stage in the national dialogue. This struggle has nothing to do with political motives or tactical movements, but rather the battle to retain sanity against impossible odds. Read full review

A dully directed movie that sends a message but lacks oomph. Read full review

So trite that it's unwittingly insensitive. Read full review
