    We loved this movie! It was perfect really... Beautiful scenery and great acting. The storyline was worthy of a tender film this. It was moving yet not heavy-handed.

    Now and then, there comes a movie that perfectly reflects the choices and plans we make in life, only to have them disrupted by unexpected events. It can feel impossible to break free from the circumstances we face, and it's extraordinarily difficult to find the elusive tools and methods to do so. We find ourselves hoping the dim light of hope won't disappear during the dark times, and temporary solutions that ultimately make everything worse. Absolute must see :) God bless our mess.

    A fine story about the effects of useless war and redemption thru the magic of fly fishing. Sit back and drink it in

    Bad dialog, cliches, overacting, heavy-handed direction, this movie had it all. I wanted to like it, but it made me laugh, and the jokes were not intended. The first fishing scene between the two main characters starts out mundane until they arrive at the river on foot, then stand still as the camera pans to sweeping long-range scenes of Montana mountains, and the music is a Lawrence of Arabia-style parody. Like they have never seen Montana before, when they live there. Then one turns to the other and says, "wanna fish?"

    Genuine and heart-warming: there was a lot of thought put into this gem.

    Just an amazing story of pain, struggle, redemption and healing. The cast is unbelievably talented and well cast. Recommend for all but especially those with a military connection.

    This is a good movie about rede.ption and the real effect of PTSD. The movie handles it well. It takes us on a journey that helps one understand the frailties of the human soul. I enjoyed it immensely.

    An old soul teaching a new soul. Such great meaning to this movie.

    It's slow in parts...not unlike a day of fly fishing I presume. Perhaps a little too long, but the performances, especially Brian Cox elevate this one from a "meh" to "good". The message of redemption and healing along with the beautiful Montana landscape is worth the time commitment.
