Leave your thoughts about They Shall Not Grow Old.
| TheWrapElizabeth WeitzmanThis was, undeniably, a risky proposition; no one wants to airbrush history. But by thoughtfully employing cutting-edge technology, Jackson has instead created an essential portal connecting audiences of the present to his subjects in the past. |
| The Observer (UK)Mark KermodeI’ve often argued that cinema is a time machine, but rarely has that seemed so true. |
| Washington PostMichael O'SullivanA major technical accomplishment. But it’s also a major feat of storytelling, one that mentions no dates, place names or famous battles, yet nevertheless manages to evoke a profound sense of connection with its nameless subjects. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleBut it would be a mistake to leave the impression that the rewards of They Shall Not Grow Old are in any way akin to that of the usual BBC historical documentary. There is some overlap, to be sure, but by and large this Peter Jackson film does not offer a historical encounter, so much as an encounter of humanity, a psychic linking of hands across time. |
| CineVueMartyn ConterioJackson and his entire production team have produced a film which is both a form of cultural monument and a monumental cinematic achievement. |
| The TelegraphRobbie CollinBy applying cutting-edge restoration techniques to footage shot at the time, Jackson has crafted an historical portrait of matchless immediacy and power, in which young souls lost in a century-old war stare out across the years and meet our gaze. |
| The GuardianPeter BradshawPeter Jackson has created a visually staggering thought experiment; an immersive deep-dive into what it was like for ordinary British soldiers on the western front. |
| RogerEbert.comScout TafoyaIt's a simple thing but if it's not the first film to show World War I taking place under heavenly blue skies it certainly feels like it is. The odd clarity is a horrible but absolutely necessary gift from Jackson and Walsh to these men. |
| The Associated PressLindsey BahrWhile it might not be a conventional history lesson, it is a necessary and utterly urgent one. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Chandler LevackUsing nothing but the voices and the images from the past, They Shall Not Grow Old is a powerful tribute to every veteran and one of the most empathetic portraits of war ever created. His grandfather would be proud. |
