Engrossing and timely, this crackles with ideas about art, politics, religion, and the terrible costs of war. April 3, 2009 | Full Review…

All of this makes an interesting, if not gripping, film about the play, the playwright and the lead-up work to a stage production. It also leaves me wanting a great deal more. April 2, 2009 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Theater of War, Walter's invigorating film, asserts the value of Brecht -- and the power of art -- for our troubled times. March 26, 2009 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

As a onetime dramaturg and Brechtian, I enjoyed the chin-wags and the glimpses of Streep in rehearsal -- especially her quivering admission that she can't bear the thought of anyone seeing her process. December 29, 2008 | Full Review…

The trauma of the past is expressed in the woundedness of the present and through this expression finds a type of sanctuary. March 16, 2018 | Full Review…

The delights were in seeing arguably America's greatest actress, Streep, going through the clunky process of rehearsing while telling us how she interpreted her role. February 26, 2010 | Rating: B | Full Review…

Mildly engaging with brief moments of insight, but it's mostly a missed opportunity to dig deeper into the play's sociopolitical relevance to the world of today January 31, 2009 | Rating: 5.75/10 | Full Review…

Neither Meryl Streep's as-yet-unpolished performance nor the entire construction of this particular production of Bertolt Brecht's celebrated play are done much favor by this doc's unedifying attempt to shoot the moon. December 23, 2008 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…
