| THE WAY WE GET BY is a deeply moving film about
life and how to live it. Beginning as a seemingly idiosyncratic
story about troop greeters - a group of senior citizens
who gather daily at a small airport to thank American
soldiers departing and returning from Iraq, the film quickly
turns into a moving, unsettling and compassionate story
about aging, loneliness, war and mortality. Seeking out
the telling detail rather than offering sweeping generalizations,
the film carefully builds stories of heartbreak and redemption,
reminding us how our culture casts our elders, and too
often our soldiers, aside. More important, regardless
of your politics, "The Way We Get By"
celebrates three unsung heroes who share their love with
strangers who need and deserve it. |

" ***** How many
films are this effective, that with so few words the
viewer can become heartbroken? Gaudet's film is a marvel
of humanity, celebrating life through its little moments.
I adored every frame of this movie and every person
in it."
– David Cornelius, eFilmCritic.com
"Absolutely stunning. This
one will leave you breathless."
– Mike Riggs, Washington City Paper
" ***** Hardened soldiers'
eyes mist over at their reception in Bangor. Yours will
too in this…simple moving documentary.”
– Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
"A story that is not just
indescribably moving but is a timeless metaphor for
our country. I absolutely loved it.” –
Erik Childress, eFilmCritic.com |
