Glenn Kenny RogerEbert.com 'Almost Sunrise' presents a journey that is very much worth the time of anyone who's concerned about the effect war has on our brothers and sisters who fight -- which should translate to 'everyone.' Rated: 3/4 Jul 14, 2017 Full Review Neil Genzlinger New York Times We're left ... feeling we've had only a glimmer of illumination on a vexingly complex problem. Jul 13, 2017 Full Review Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter Exploring the ramifications of that tragic state of affairs while introducing a concept dubbed "Moral Injury," Almost Sunrise makes for powerful viewing. Jun 9, 2017 Full Review Andrea Thompson A Reel of One's Own The more institutional issue could be explored more. But the documentary does such an excellent job of what it does choose to focus on that it's hardly missed. Rated: A- Feb 5, 2019 Full Review Andrew Parker The Gate Almost Sunrise is as empathetic and touching as any look at PTSD that I've ever seen, and anyone with a family member going through something similar owes it to themselves to see this film.

Audience Member This movie is a must-see for all-Veterans and civilians alike. Itvis very inspirational as it correctly tells the story of the hidden struggles of a veteran. I like the idea that the Veterans in the movie found an alternative to medicinal treatment that helped them become productive part of the nation's workforce today. Good job to the actors and director as well as all the veteran supporters out there. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review greg r A really spectacular look at two vets who fought the demons they brought home with them from war.
