Leave your thoughts about Blood Stripe.
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertIt implies everything with subtlety and restraint and lectures about nothing. |
| Behind The LensDebbie Lynn EliasAn emotionally intense film. . . A strong and well crafted, yet nuanced script, the tacit commentary on PTSD and the lack of proper services and assistance to returning soldiers speaks sensitively and loudly. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranMade with passion, integrity and skill, "Blood Stripe" is American independent filmmaking at its most effective. It takes on a difficult subject and treats it with an honesty that can't help but capture us from start to finish. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreLike some of Mel’s other B pictures, Blood Father delivers the goods. And that’s all it ever promises to do. |
| User ReviewAmber PThis film is a wonderful take on what happens to a female veteran when left untreated. It takes a look at the dark side of being one of the elite fighting force. Kate Nowlin and Remy Auberjonois are the writing duo behind this wonderful independent film while Remy took the directing helm. The relationship between him as a director, his cast, and cinematographer Radium Cheung is incredibly intimate and it shows in the best way possible. I'm looking forward to this film being seen by more people. It deserves it. |
| User ReviewJ Craig SRUN do not walk to see this gritty and compelling performance by this actress Nowlin. As believable a performance as you will ever see of how combat fu**s up one's mind and ability to interact normally. Especially LOVED to see it from a female perspective. I LOVED this movie. 10-stars! |
| User Reviewrene aBeautifully Directed, Acted and Shot. A moving and powerful film on an important subject. |
| User ReviewChad SAs a mental health therapist/college psychology instructor, I feel this is one of the best films since The Deer Hunter about PTSD/Depression. It is an accurate portrayal of the horrors of this disease and the hypervigilance and paranoia that often accompanies it. The Northern Minnesota setting is wonderful as is the Mason Jennings music. Great job! |
| User ReviewDana LStarts off strong and then get s a bit clunky, but it's ambitious, dramatic, and leaves an impression. "Sarge" represents the military "everywoman," a point of view regularly missing in returning-home-from-war movies. But this isn' an in-your-face aftermath; it's a quiet, gentle breakdown. The acting couldn't be finer and were Knowlin famous she would have received an Oscar's nod. I turned it on by chance and was immediately engrossed. The ending is ambiguous and slightly frustrating. The cinematography is spectacular. All the bit players, especially Rusty and Dot, help create a fine, realistic film. |
| User ReviewTima PPowerful story of a fmeale Marine (lioness) veteran and her war at home. Accurate portrayal of PTsd and a reminder of the impact of war on female vets |
