Review of The Messenger (2009) by Sarah P — 05 Jun 2010
A moving story of one of the most difficult jobs I can think of. Brilliantly played out by Foster and Harrelson. This movie hits hard the effects of war and the emotional consequences that many have to grapple with.
Its treatment is multi-layered and it brings out the depth of the issues in a powerful way. Love how the 'hard on the outside' but 'soft of the inside' element is deconstructed. Recommended viewing although it can be a bit slow moving for some.
