Regeneration is a film about various WWI soldiers in a mental correction facility, including the WWI poets Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen. The film achieves a lot in terms of the scope of issues it manages to cover with each of the characters. Sassoon's character is used to question the authority of the men who operate the war effort and their aims, while the Billy Prior and Capt. Rivers characters are a study on how grief affects soldiers in different ways as well as several other important ideas. It may take a while to get into, (it did for me) this is because for the first part of the film I wasn't entirely sure where it was going to go, after a while though, the film takes over and becomes a very engaging experience. The acting was a bit patchy in places in my opinion, but other than that I couldn't find much about this film that wouldn't make it worth watching. Definitely recommended.
