Lonesome Soldier is a deeply moving film that brilliantly captures the harrowing journey of a soldier grappling with the aftermath of war.
Alexander Randazzo delivers a powerful performance as Jackson Harlow, masterfully portraying the complexities of PTSD with authenticity and sensitivity. The supporting cast, especially John Ashton and Allison McAtee, provide compelling and heartfelt performances, adding depth to the narrative. Director Nino Aldi's storytelling is both raw and touching, making this a must-watch for anyone seeking a profound cinematic experience about the human cost of war.
I highly recommend it to anyone willing to attempt to try to understand what our Veterans go through.
