Kevin Bacon gives a quiet, moving performance (which I think is one of his all-time best), in this patient, poignant film that is as fascinating as it is tear-jerking. Ross Katz' understated direction keeps the focus tight on Pfc. Phelps, yet gives space for the people who encounter him during his journey to be affected. This is a small movie, but it's got some of the most incredible acting from minor roles as well as background & bit players that I've ever seen. It feels like everyone involved in this movie came to it with a sense of reverence, which gives all of the major story beats that much more punch. A hidden gem.
