Is this some PC hogwash?


I am intrigued by the few words on the plot that I've read, but am concerned this might be a british politically-correct rubbish, and I'd like to avoid watching that at all costs.

nah, it's strictly about a woman returning from war, how's she's adapting to normal life. it's very good.

Nope not PC at all.
Watch away !

It’s 2012, I think we’ve moved beyond the meaningless concept of “political correctness”.

In any event, the film has brilliant writing, moving performances, and a unique intensity.

If you are asking about the political perspective of the film, it’s debatable but in my view fair to label the film anti-war. Still it would certainly be a mistake to avoid this film (or indeed any film) just because you expect to disagree with the political viewpoint of the filmmaker.

100% PC/Communist propaganda: female empowerment, disparagement of males, anti-family, pro-Islam, anti-gun

It is a British take on the same themes as many of the post-vietnam films that explored the after-effects on normal life of having served in the conflict.

It is quite an intimate drama following one female soldier's story on her return to civilian life.
