A Long Way Home really digs into the psychological aftermath of war. Ben Winter's return from Afghanistan feels raw and unvarnished, dealing with the ghosts of his past, especially after losing his friend in a bombing. The pacing is quite deliberate, allowing viewers to sit with Ben's trauma and confusion, which makes the emotional beats land harder. There's an intimacy to the family's interactions, showing how his loved ones struggle to bridge the gap between who he was and who he’s become. The performances are quite grounded, particularly Ben's portrayal, capturing a mix of vulnerability and resilience. It’s not flashy but hits on some real, difficult themes about recovery, memory, and the price of service.
