Engrossing and timely, this crackles with ideas about art, politics, religion, and the terrible costs of war.

Passionate and ambitious, John Walter's chronicle of a Public Theater production is too scattered for broad appeal. But those who connect with his themes will find themselves quickly drawn in.

The film provides invaluable context for one of the most thought provoking plays of all time.

A documentary about putting on a production of the anti-war play Mother Courage and Her Children by Bertolt Brecht. I found this fascinating - especially all the information about Bertolt Brecht and his (and Marx's) ideas about war. They don't show the entire production, but they do show the highlights and explain their significance and compare it to the original production put on by Brecht in Germany in 1949. It's all grist for the mind, but watching this makes me realize how trivial a lot of other documentaries are that I have seen lately. I thought how great it would have been to have seen a production of Mother Courage when I was in high school. Five stars.

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.
