In full military uniform, Chad is welcomed back to his Midwestern hometown by new and old friends alike. From the bus stop, Chad works his way through his old stomping grounds, getting reacquainted with a drink at each stop and catching up on old times. Along the way Chad is joined by Camille who idolized him when he was a star on the high school baseball team. As his one-man parade winds its way through town, the enthusiasm for Chad's service and glory days soon fades as he's reunited with more 'friends' from his past. —RBG Films

Great Thought Provoking Indie Drama!

As I watched "Repatriation" I kept thinking of a book review from the great Richard Price - so I will use it here and switch the name of the book for this little gem of a film, because I think it actually describes it quite well. It went something like this: "Repatriation sings, mugs, wisecracks, charms, buys you a drink, steals your wallet, and then takes you home to meet the folks." Repatriation has a lot of good things going for it and the filmmakers did a great job of keeping the film honest and truthful to the story. But I would like to highlight one of the reasons Repatriation works so well and it's such an honest and heartfelt piece - and that is no other than it's lead, Ryan Barton-Grimley. Mr. Barton-Grimley has the talent and skills to pull off a tour de force performance rarely seen in Indie Filmmaking. He could be as charming as he is menacing and does it in a way that seems completely organic, not forced or calculated. His performance in this film is top-notch! I highly recommend Repatriation. It is a film that you will enjoy watching but it will also linger in your mind as you wonder what went wrong.
