A powerful exploration of the effects of war on its casualties, and on those who are left behind. Foster stars as Will Montgomery, a US Army Staff Sergeant re-assigned after injury to the Casualty Notification Team. Partnered with an experienced hand, Capt. Tony Stone (Harrelson), Montgomery learns the delicate business of telling families that their loved ones have died on duty. After he delivers the news of her husband's death to one particular woman, Olivia (Morton), he finds himself losing his emotional detachment, as he feels ever-increasingly drawn to her in her grief. Extraordinary performances make this Oscar-nominated drama an unflinching examination of grief and loss, laying bare the inner struggles of men and women so often expected to hide them.
