"INDIVISIBLE"
(2018) (Justin Bruening, Sarah Drew) (PG-13)

QUICK TAKE:: Drama: An Army chaplain and his family must contend with him being deployed overseas and then returning and suffering from PTSD.

PLOT:

It's 2007 and Army chaplain Darren Turner (JUSTIN BRUENING), his wife, Heather (SARAH DREW), and their kids have just moved into a neighborhood near Fort Stewart and directly across the street from Major Michael Lewis (JASON GEORGE) whose relationship with his wife, Tonya (TIA MOWRY), and girls hasn't been the same since his tours of duty in Iraq. Darren tries to help the troubled soldier, but Michael wants none of that and warns him to leave his heart at home, what with his first year-plus tour coming up.

Arriving at a U.S. base in Iraq, Darren meets Lt. Col. Jacobson (ERIC CLOSE) who's in command, as well as Shonda Peterson (SKYE P. MARSHALL) who will serve as Darren's assistant and bodyguard of sorts when they're off the base. He also meets Lance Bradley (TANNER STINE) whose wife back home, Amanda (MADELINE CARROLL), is expecting their second child.

When things go bad off-site, Lance questions Darren "peddling" a God who allowed a number of people -- including two soldiers and a young civilian girl -- to be killed during an insurgent attack. Darren does his best to explain things, all while trying to help Michael deal with his issues and Shonda be a better mom to her young son back home.

But what Darren experiences and witness while overseas begins to put a strain on his and Heather's marriage, what with her holding down the fort back home -- and comforting fellow spouses when they receive bad news -- and him not being able to tell her what he's been going through. That comes to a head when he returns home a completely changed man, what with PTSD severely affecting him and his family. All of which results in Chaplain Rodgers (MICHAEL O'NEILL) stepping in to try to save him and his family from the lasting aftereffects of seeing horrible things and believing that God has abandoned him.

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?: Unless the faith-based angle draws them in, it's not that likely.

WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG-13: For some thematic material and war violence.

I have subscribed to ScreenIt for more than a decade. I check in every week to take advantage of their amazing services. Not only does their site provide a glimpse of exactly what content a movie offers, I've found the “Our Take” reviews and ratings for each movie to be right on the money every single time. I've referred dozens of friends to this service because my #1 resource for deciding whether or not to show a movie to my kids, or to see one myself, is ScreenIt.com!

I signed up to get Screen It weekly reviews a long time ago, when my kids were young and I wanted to know more about movies before we went to a theater or rented. Now one child is in law school, other in undergraduate, and I still read the weekly Screen Its! It helps me know what my husband and I want to see or rent, and what to have waiting at home that we all will enjoy when my "kids" come home. I depend on Screen It reviews. They usually just present the facts and let me decide if the movie is appropriate or of interest for my family and me. Thank you for providing that service, Screen It!

I have 4 children who are now in college. I signed up for Screen It when my children were pre-teenagers. Often my children would ask to see a movie with a friend and I wished I could preview the movie prior to giving permission. A friend told me about ScreenIt.com and I found it to be the next best thing to previewing a movie. The amount of violence, sexual content, or language were always concerns for me and my husband as we raised innocent kids with morals. We constantly fought the peer pressure our kids received to see films that in our opinion were questionable. With the evidence we received at Screen It, our kids couldn't even fight us when we felt a film may have been inappropriate for them to watch. Thank you, Screen It. Continue to make this helpful service available to everyone, but especially the young parents.

Screenit.com is an amazing resource for parents, educators, church groups or anyone who wants to make an informed decision whether a movie is suitable for their viewing. The reviews and content descriptions are so detailed I am mystified how the reviewers can put them together.

I love screen It! I don't know what I would do without it. It is well worth the membership. Before we take our son to the movies we check it out on screen it first. Thank you SO much for making it. Keep up the good work & keep 'em coming!!!
