Has anyone here seen the movie Brothers?

I went to see it this afternoon, not expecting it to effect me like it did.

It's about a happily married man with 2 great kids that goes to Afghanistan and gets captured by the Taliban.
3 years later he goes home and is unable to cope with his real life.

I'm just wondering if anyone here saw it and if it had the same affect on you as it did on me.... 3 hrs later and I am still wiped out.

That said, this movie needed to be made and I hope it wins every award possible for addressing the ugliness of war and ptsd.

1. it was a bit too realistic

it wasn't glammed up or rosy.... the acting was superb and the end was heartbreaking. i really like natalie portman but i believe she was miscast (she's a good actress but i just couldn't see her as an army wife).

2. I saw it and felt somewhat defeated depressed the truth is hard to take.n/t
