List: Top 3 Movies About PTSD

This week on Episode 270 of the InSession Film Podcast, inspired by You Were Never Really Here, we discussed our top 3 movies about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. PTSD is, obviously, a delicate and volatile problem for many people, so it needs to be handled well in film for it to make a real impact. There are some films that miss the mark, but others that have extraordinarily hit the bullseye – and those are the films that we focused on for our lists. On that note, what movies would make your list? Here are the one’s that made ours:
