Let me start this off with saying that pretty much everything about this movie on a technical standpoint is fantastic and has aged like fine wine.

From the music, to the cinematography the viewer is treated to a cinematic treat in every sense of the word.

Despite a rather short run-time the movie is a good slow burner that focuses more on the change in the characters than anything else.

One must also say good words about the acting, really great job across the board.

So why am I giving it a six instead of a ten? Well, despite everything that I've said here I think that the story itself hasn't really passed the age test.

A lot of the themes in the movie about loneliness, the struggle to adapt to civilian life after serving in the army and depression are well expressed but I do feel that those issues are currently a lot different than they used to be when the movie came out.

I don't think it's a bad movie, just that with time the way the themes the movies tackle have evolved with modern society with makes their portrayal here seem lost in translation.
