"Suzy is a British soldier who returns home from a hearts-and-minds mission in Iraq, deeply affected by her experience, and struggles to settle back into civilian life. Her attempts to get reacquainted with her young daughter, who initially barely recognises her, are draining, while her insecure squaddie husband Mark is threatened by both her choice of career and her choice of company. Unable to keep the ghosts of her military tour at bay, her behaviour becomes increasingly erratic. A testament to the number of British soldiers who suffer mental illness upon returning from the horrors of war, the feature debut from Brian Welsh is an urgent, provocative and timely piece of social realism that marks him out as an emerging talent in British cinema. Struggling to communicate and desperate to be understood, these troubled characters feel convincingly - and chillingly - real, fleshed out by superb performances from a cast that combines familiar faces with gifted newcomers. Joanne Froggatt, who has just a number of TV credits to her name, is spellbinding in the lead role, delivering a performance of raw emotional honesty." Quoting Michael Hayden from the 2010 London Film Festival site.
