Movie Reviews

Washington Post - 9/10 by Dan ZakNot so much a slice of life as the whole pie, the highs and lows of twilight living, all found and filmed in a terminal at an airport in Maine. What a country.
Film Threat - 8/10 by Mariko McDonaldManages to put a new spin on things while being touching, honest, and thought-provoking at the same time.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Wesley MorrisBecomes a bracing portrait of three fascinating individuals who use this work as a means to keep living.
The New York Times - 7/10 by Jeannette CatsoulisUnfailingly modest and profoundly humane, The Way We Get By profiles three people over 70 whose lives have been changed by a simple act of service.
Variety - 7/10 by John AndersonAlthough the trio's work as "troop greeters" is the film's ostensible subject, their renewed and somewhat tenuous sense of purpose gives the doc its bite.
The A.V. Club - 7/10 by Noel MurrayNeither pro- nor anti-war; it’s a somber study of perpetually unsettled lives.
New York Post - 6/10 by Kyle SmithAlthough it has affecting moments, the film can't quite decide whether it's about aging or about the effects of war on the home front.
Time Out - 6/10 by S. James SnyderThough Aron Gaudet’s documentary never quite captures the relieved atmosphere of these homecomings, it does acknowledge the dark side of a cheery platitude: those on both sides of the divide are in need of healing.
Village Voice - 5/10 by Nick PinkertonIt's the stuff of a fine short on what any "Bowling Alone" reader knows is the last generation of civic-minded civilians, but Gaudet has a hard time extending his material to feature length.
