| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
In his most powerful performance to date, Ben Foster stars
as Will Montgomery, a U.S. Army officer who has just returned
home from a tour in Iraq and is assigned to the Army’s
Casualty Notification service. Partnered with fellow officer
Tony Stone (Woody Harrelson) to bear the bad news to the loved
ones of fallen soldiers, Will faces the challenge of completing
his mission while seeking to find comfort and healing back
on the home front. When he finds himself drawn to Olivia (Samantha
Morton), to whom he has just delivered the news of her husband’s
death, Will’s emotional detachment begins to dissolve
and the film reveals itself as a surprising, humorous, moving
and very human portrait of grief, friendship and survival.
Featuring tour-de-force performances from Foster, Harrelson
and Morton, and a brilliant directorial debut by Oren Moverman,
THE MESSENGER brings us into the inner lives of these outwardly
steely heroes to reveal their fragility with compassion and
dignity.
