Similarly, another viewer, who gave it a high rating wrote: This movie will break your heart — for all the right reasons. “Only the Brave” delivers raw, genuine emotion and pulls at the heart strings like few movies do.

“It left me devastated — yet fulfilled. Devastated at the tragedy of the story — but fulfilled at the sincerity and love the characters clearly had for each other. I was fulfilled by the intensity of the suffering of characters in the end of the movie.

“It really felt like a justice for the love they must have had for those 19 men. It just felt right and was a truly well made and moving film.”
