Long way from home review [text only]
Plot
Ryan (James Kennedy) has just returned home from war to his wife Helen (Luisa Di Maria), but it’s not the heartfelt homecoming that was expected.
Review
‘Long way from home’ is a contemporary Short on the issues of war. Kennedy portrays a ‘lost soul’ back from war who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder presented to us through a series of interviews with the characters. Some scenes offer the audience a peak ‘backstage’ of their lives, where you see how they cope with this situation.
The film does not go in depth about PTSD, but simply highlights the issues of soldiers affected by war and their families. The mixture of drama and documentary varies the dynamic of the film, which, as a genre reflects earlier work such as ‘City of God’ and ‘The Nines’.
From the director of ‘Following Seth’ as well as its lead actor Lewis Page, this short offers an alternative from the monotonous mainstream films.
Verdict
A definite must see if only to see these upcoming actors' stunning performance.
