I have a hard time watching typical war films, because the majority of the story is usually set on the front lines or in the action. But few war films focus on the veterans when they return and/or the people they leave behind. Coming Home is perhaps the best film I've seen that truly discusses what war does, its impacts, its legacy. Jon Voight and Jane Fonda are phenomenal in their roles. Bruce Dern is also memorable. And the actual veterans in the film make this a pseudo-documentary, at times, with incredibly powerful effects. I was moved by the brutal honesty of this film and I think it is quite important to see.
