Rating: 1.5/5 --
Williams draws upon countless earlier dramas without adding anything fresh or memorable to the discussion.

Los Angeles Times
Rating: 3/4 --
Very well-made and well-acted.
Kansas City Star
Rating: 2.5/4 --
O'Nan's star making performance manages to hold things together even when the script threatens to tear them apart, while the emotional center of the picture rings with a moving truthfulness that can't help but hit close to home.

Seattle Gay News
Rating: D+ --
Writer-director Ryan Piers Williams seems to be diligently working through a checklist of returning-warrior-movie clichés.

Rating: 2.5/5 --
A strong first film, and with a better-honed script, Williams should prove to be a director to watch.

Rating: B --
Just another cost-of-war movie, you say? Yes, and that's exactly the point.

Sincere performances elevate an underdeveloped script and awkward filmmaking.

Product Description:
A soldier comes home from the war but can't find peace in his heart and mind in this independent drama. James (Ryan O'Nan) returns to his hometown in Texas after serving a long hitch in Iraq, and is warmly welcomed by his wife, Sara (America Ferrera), and best friend, Michael (Jason Ritter). However, his homecoming party is awkward and it's clear James is not the same as he was before he left. Sara's father, David (Benito Martinez), arranges for James to get a job working beside Michael at a meat processing plant, but when an argument with a co-worker turn violent, James' life goes into a tailspin and Sara leaves him. James still hasn't come to terms with his experiences in Iraq, and a reunion with one of his Army buddies, Raymond (Wilmer Valderrama), convinces him he needs to make contact with Henry (Diego Klattenhoff), a fellow soldier who was part of an incident that scarred them both. THE DRY LAND was the first feature film from writer and director Ryan Piers Williams, and received its world premiere at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.
