    A quiet little film that doesn't beat you over the head to make its point. A finely nuanced performance by Linda Cardellini and lots of characters to care about.

    This movie was almost so "day-to-day living in a small town", that I almost felt I was there. Granted, it's nothing thrilling, but the grim reality is there of life after returning from war, a silence that goes on behind the actions of a woman who cannot say what is wrong, yet she's slipping away piece by piece. I could understand Kelli, as I've been in the military, and know small-town living. But most would find this movie boring without a common comprehension.
