My Dead Friend Zoe | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

While the film doesn't ultimately match the strength of a lead performance from Sonequa Martin-Green, My Dead Friend Zoe is often emotionally compelling and a unique approach to the examination of PTSD.

Despite strong performances from Sonequa Martin-Green and Ed Harris, the film’s powerful reminder of how veterans are so often cast aside finds itself overshadowed by the wacky ghostly manifestation of the title and other subplots.

My Dead Friend Zoe will raise awareness among civilians about the realities of the veteran experience. But, if we're all really lucky, its representational qualities, bolstered by Green's performance, will actually save some lives.

My Dead Friend Zoe runs a little long in its final act, but it ultimately succeeds as an exploration of shell shock and mental health, a crowd-pleasing dramedy and a show of appreciation and brotherhood to servicemembers of all stripes.
