Buckles is a quiet yet poignant documentary centering on Frank W. Buckles, the last U.S. veteran of World War I. The pacing feels intimate, almost like sitting down with a grandparent to hear tales of a bygone era. Buckles’ recollections are raw and honest, capturing not just the battles but the humanity of war. The film’s atmosphere is reflective; it’s a reminder of the weight of history and the fragility of memory. There are no flashy effects or dramatizations, just a simple, straightforward presentation that allows Buckles' voice to take center stage. It makes you think about the personal narratives behind historical events, something that often gets lost in the broader strokes of history.
