Jennifer Lawrence takes us back to her early screen days by once again evoking subtle sympathy in this subdued psychological drama about a soldier struggling to find her way in society after returning from Afghanistan. Lawrence’s character, Lynsey, was a member of the Army Corps of Engineers traveling in a convoy en route to an assignment when they were hit by a bomb. Lynsey suffers a traumatic brain injury and is sent home to her dysfunctional family to heal. While she physically gets stronger through therapy, Lynsey still suffers mentally.
