Leave your thoughts about We Went to War.
| Sight and SoundWally HammondSomething of an exemplary documentary on the effects of combat on three individuals with experience of one specific war. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawThis sad, unhurriedfilm is like a short story by Larry McMurtry. |
| ViewLondonJennifer TateA tender and poetic documentary, which revisits a group of veterans as they discuss their emotional scars left by the Vietnam War, We Went to War is extremely powerful, thanks to its personal interviews and strong and compassionate direction. |
| Total FilmGeorge BassForty years after interviewing fresh-faced Vietnam vets for his 1970 documentary I Was A Soldier, British filmmaker Michael Grigsby returns to Texas to find his subjects pushing 70 and still living with PTSD. |
| Little White LiesDavid JenkinsMoving, but never manipulative. And beautifully photographed. |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Robbie CollinThe film conjures a profound sense of space and peace, and contains not a single shot of conflict. |
| Empire MagazineDavid ParkinsonA compelling look at the lingering devastation of war. |
| User Reviewgary tWOW.....BRILLLIANT....AMAZING....VERY VERY SAD......i have just seen this movie 4 the 1st time n think that this is such a fantastic documentary movie 2 watch.......i think that this is such a really well directed movie 2 watch it is such a really sad movie 2 watch........i think that the director Michael Kenneth Christian Grigsby (.R.I.P.), had done a great job of directing this movie because you never know what 2 expect throughout this movie...... In 2012 Grigsby's non fiction feature, 'We Went to War' was released. Co-authored with creative producer Rebekah Tolley, the film is a follow up to Grigsby's film, I Was a Soldier (1970), and returns to the stories of the three Vietnam veterans of the earlier film: David, Dennis and Lamar, forty years after their return from combat to their homes in the heartlands of Texas.. its got a good soundtrack throughout this movie......i think that this is such a really sad movie 2 watch as its a real-life movie 2 watch its a really sad movie 2 watch but its such a really well directed movie.....i think that this is a very underrated documentary movie 2 watch but its such a really sad movie 2 watch its got a great cast throughout this movie i think that this is such a really sad movie 2 watch but its such a great documentary movie 2 watch...... |
