Netflix to Remove Critically Acclaimed Military Film 'Thank You for Your Service' on July 1

When the calendar flips to July, Netflix will be making numerous changes to its streaming library, including removing dozens of movies while also adding many others.

One of the films leaving Netflix in July is 2017's Thank You for Your Service, a poignant and heartbreaking portrayal of veterans dealing with PTSD following their return from active duty. Starring Miles Teller, Haley Bennett, Joe Cole, Amy Schumer, Beulah Koale and Scott Haze, Thank You for Your Service was not a box office smash but was well-regarded by critics and audiences.

When is Thank You for Your Service exiting Netflix?

According to What's on Netflix's Ashley Hurst, Thank You for Your Service will leave Netflix on July 1. It is one of eight well-known movies exiting the platform that day, including Sabotage, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Bohemian Rhapsody and Hellboy.

"The movie is one of the most powerful and visceral depictions of posttraumatic stress disorder on-screen," Hurst said.

Thank You for Your Service earned praise from critics, moviegoers

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a 77% approval rating, with the summary declaring it "a sobering and powerfully acted -- if necessarily incomplete -- look at soldiers grappling with the horrific emotional impact of war."

Thank You for Your Service is also rated 6.6/10 on IMDb and 68/100--"Generally Favorable"--on Metacritic, based off critical reviews.

Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film a perfect 4-star grade, while Matt Zoller Seitz of RogerEbert.com graded it 3.5 out of 4 stars while acknowledging the "anger" behind it.

"It directs its anger at a country which, ever since the military and humanitarian disaster of Vietnam and the end of the active draft, has subcontracted war to lower middle class and poor people (and mercenaries), then allowed politicians to keep them mostly out of sight and mind after they've endured and committed unimaginable violence," Zoller Seitz writes. "Veterans are treated as human props in this country, posed in front of flags and trotted out at sporting events and momentarily flattered by politicians of both parties, even as legislators and presidents neglect their care or gut their benefits, and large sections of the public forget they even exist. The phrase that serves as the film's title is often the only gesture of gratitude that veterans receive from people who don't know them personally."
