Trivia
After meeting during the filming, actors Aidan Turner and Caitlin Fitzgerald became a couple.

Goofs
After a funeral attended by the community, where Barr is supposedly dead and buried, no one seems to notice when he moves back into his house and later attends a school play. These reactions are just not shown. (In a deleted scene, Ed points out that people aren't sure what to make of his return.)

Quotes
Flag Pin: My grandfather use to tell all kinds of stories about this one soldier... but he wasn't taking about a man, but rather something mythic.

Sam Elliott shines in an uneven story

Great first half, even if it does bounce around a lot between timelines, though unfortunately that becomes a little tiresome the more the film goes on. Sam Elliott is fantastic, and he is truly the perfect actor for this role; I award this a 6.5/10 solely based on his performance, in a film that isn't quite sure what it is supposed to be, though ends up being more of a drama about a tired old man than anything else.
