Story: | It was a different time . . . and a different
pace. The War tells the story of a close-knit
family and its remarkable Mississippi summer of 1970. With the
help of their friends, Stu (Elijah Wood) and his sister are
determined to build the ultimate treehouse—a place of wonder and
magic. Their father Stephen, a newly-returned Vietnam vet, has
equally high hopes to rebuild his life and fulfil his family's
dreams. |
Rating: | 9/10. When this first started, my family thought "oh no . . . this is a
kids' movie", but within 20 minutes, the story had become intriguing
and captivating. It is a thoroughly enjoyable, if somewhat
sad, movie that will please everyone—not just Kevin
fans. |
