They Shall Not Grow Old's reviews
Media reviews
The Guardian
An immersive deep-dive into what it was like for ordinary British soldiers on the western front [...] As an act of popular history, 'They Shall Not Grow Old' is outstanding
The Hollywood Reporter
'They Shall Not Grow Old' is a superb technical achievement. Perhaps more importantly, it also suggests new cinematic methods of rescuing history from history books, humanizing and dramatizing true stories with a modest injection of movie-world artifice.
Variety
Jackson has found fresh, humane purpose to his ambitious technical artistry, opening up any number of exciting, slightly terrifying possibilities in the realm of archival documentary
Indiewire
The resulting montage-film does its utmost to honor the conflict?s fallen [...] By liberating this footage, and holding it up to 21st century light, his project renders all that was old in a jolting, powerful new context.
