I just saw this movie a few hours ago and was very moved by it. It's the first "10" I have given any movie. It is a story of redemption, healing, and hope from the viewpoint of 2 Combat Vets, one from Vietnam and one from Afghanistan, and one civilian who lost a loved one.

The main story is that of the Afghan Vet, and there are flashbacks to see what he experienced in Afghanistan.

"More books have been written about fly fishing than any other sport", is one of the lines. Throughout the movie, passages are read from these book that concern fly fishing and how it relates to life.

Perfectly cast and against the backdrop of a Montana river.

As someone who works in this space, we're thrilled to see this story being told the right way. It was important to see their attention to detail regarding both the military/ veteran space as well as fly fishing. Props to the entire team.

The cinematography was incredible whether it was Montana or on the battle field. Definitely a tough watch for some, but it's the reality. Heavy drinking, frustrations with the VA, loss of identity and purpose.

It's the tough reality the world needs to see to appreciate what our soldiers deal with when they return home. It's not pretty. We need more honest films like this.

I saw Mending the Line, starring Brian Cox-Succession_tv, the Bourne Identity movies; Sinqua Walls-Power_tv, Teen Wolf_tv; Perry Mattfeld-In the Dark_tv, Shameless_tv and Patricia Heaton-The Middle_tv, Space Jam.

This is a movie about people coping with loss. Sinqua plays a Marine veteran that is sent home to Montana after being wounded in Afghanistan. He was the sole survivor of his unit-he has wounds to his legs but not life threatening-and he has lots of survivors guilt. Patricia is the V. A. doctor in charge of his recovery, both physically and mentally and she sends him to Brian-a Vietnam vet-that practices flyfishing to deal with his stress. Since the V. A. is in Montana, the fishing is quite plentiful. Perry plays a librarian that helps Sinqua find some reading material on his new fishing hobby therapy. Everyone seems to have some issues to deal with; some are with the obvious PTSD and drinking-Brian & Sinqua-but Perry lost her fiance recently in a car accident so she is dealing with that loss. FYI: Mending the line is a fishing term.

It's rated R for language and violent images and has a running time of 2 hours & 2 minutes.

It's not one that I would buy on DVD but if you are interested in the subject matter, it would be a good one to stream.
