Fly fishing as metaphor for life is well-trod ground, but Mending the Line homes in specifically on veterans and PTSD, and fly fishing as effective therapy. Brian Cox, Wes Studi, gorgeous scenery. The film has some flaws, but I approve of its message and the purity of its intentions. I reviewed for Ebert.
