    This is an extraordinary film, unlike any I've ever seen before. This is not your grandfather's documentary. More like Winged Migration than Outfoxed.

    A history of verse is laid alongside that of warfare, and the ways in which they are braided together proves fascinating.

    Poorly organized mishmash of archival war films, scholarly chatter, and literary quotations.

    Rick King's stirring documentary Voices in Wartime is not, as you might guess from the title, a compilation of soldiers' battlefield letters to their families back home. This intense little film is about poetry, and not just Homer's "Iliad."
