The TVI Take
Linklater's 2017 melancholic road movie. Three Vietnam veterans accompany one of their sons' bodies home from Iraq.
Bryan Cranston, Steve Carell, and Laurence Fishburne in their most restrained late-career work. The film functions as a spiritual response to The Last Detail without being a sequel, examining the same generation thirty years on. Educational about the Vietnam-to-Iraq institutional continuity, mourning, and the texture of long-friendship reconciliation.
