Good story, a couple downsides

The overall story was very interesting. Separation from a loved one during war time (or if they're in a hot zone) can mess those left behind mentally. You do feel like you're losing it. You can definitely see that with Ingrid. The actress portrays her downward spiral very well.

I liked Ingrid's side of the narrative with the letters. They were sweet and you could feel her pain. Didn't care for the Mary character/actress. She was just too off. Irene was good. I'm glad she resisted Ingrid's advances. Got me in my feels when she described her nightmares. I also liked how she kinda held the three of them together.

Worst part of the movie was Ellis. He was ok in the flashback scenes (no talking). But whenever he talked on camera I just didn't feel it. It was like he was trying to make every line this profound statement. Not sure if that's the fault of writing, direction, or the actor. Maybe all 3. I feel horrible saying that about an actor.

Overall a good movie. Some weird scenes but that's what you get in a lot of films like tbis. Just roll with it.

Though you may want to skip it like someone else said if you're looking for a faced paced action movie.
