Praise for Mending The Line

It delivers a truth about those who have served, about the reality of the demons that can linger in them, that’s tough and moving.
There’s a sweetness there, with metaphors about life and moving through transition that should strike a universal chord... you can’t help but get hooked.
Acting, script, music, cinematography, direction - it all comes together in one of the best movies I've seen this year”

It’s a damn good movie!
Engaging, touching and a great film
Effective story about remedy and redemption.
FWR Anyone who has been affected by the loss of a loved one can relate to the touching story. With summer getting underway and blockbusters filling theater screens, it’s easy for a small indie film to get overlooked. Give “Mending the Line” a chance and you’ll be hooked just like the trout in the memorable film.
Incredibly heartwarming and a joy to watch.

Little gem of a movie.

4 1/2 Stars
There’s a great deal to like about the movie, much of it stemming from Caldwell and his veteran cast’s subtle approach and screenwriter Stephen Camelio’s at times surprising screenplay.
Wes Studi Academy-Award Winner I was very impressed with everything about it. The beauty of Montana and the harshness of Afghanistan. I found very few holes in the whole story. Usually you come away with discovering holes here and there with the script but this runs very smoothly and tells a good story in a good way.

Mending the Line is a careful, thoughtful look at the effects of PTSD that also manages to make wider points about how we heal...An accomplished, emotionally honest movie that deserves a wide audience. - 4 stars
