Review of Thank You for Your Service (2017) by Jesse Hassenger for AV Club — 23 Oct 2017
Beyond its best little moments, the movie is addressing a serious issue, and it feels awfully churlish to complain that its earnest depictions of soldiers in psychological pain isn’t novel enough, or that Koale’s performance is a little shakier than Teller’s, or that the movie doesn’t have much to say about the Iraq War in particular, or that it eventually tries to pass off a lack of resolution as an abbreviated happy ending.
But these stumbling blocks do stack up, standing in the way of Hall’s best intentions.
