Five Came Back

"A cinephile and historian's dream come true."

"This is a series about the power of a camera, particularly when there's an artist peering through the lens."

"A surprisingly moving denouement."

"Nothing less than a masterpiece."

"A beautifully rendered ode to the art and power of filmmaking."

"That, really, is the point. Five Came Back is tailor-made for film aficionados."

"The three episodes of Five Came Back run a little over three hours total, but the time goes by like a shot."

"Arguably the best documentary ever made about Hollywood and wartime..."

"Glossy, if somewhat snooze-inducing."

"A compelling examination of this little-known period of Hollywood history, a great subject that gets its full due here."

"Divided into three parts, this screen adaptation is a companion piece and a stand-alone work, and itself superlative film criticism."

"A film buff's film, a grand creation of American mythology and a slick, entertaining, informative work."
