It's very compelling to hear these men talk about what they went through and the horrors of World War I... Very interesting, very moving film. Full Review

Rating: 5/5 -- They Shall Not Grow Old proves surprisingly involving, given that 50 percent of the footage involves closeups of British tommies, who've clearly never heard the word "dentistry," chomping on cigarettes. Full Review

In the now-total absence of those who witnessed the War, They Shall Not Grow Old feels like it will open audiences up for a new type of human connection with that era of our past. Full Review

Rating: A -- They Shall Not Grow Old is, at once, a technical marvel of historical importance, a deeply moving personal story of real-world heroes, and a timeless reminder that the atrocities of war must necessarily be avoided at all costs. Full Review

Rating: 4/4 -- You're liable to leave the theater with the strains of "Mademoiselle from Armentieres" ringing in your ears and visuals that will haunt you, possibly for years. Full Review

"They Shall Not Grow Old" is a nearly great talking-head documentary in which the talking heads are never seen, only heard. Full Review
