The A.V. ClubEmily VanDerWerffMay 6, 2014
Season 1 Review: The Address ultimately can’t nail its ending.... ut so much of The Address accomplishes what it sets out to do and is so different from Burns’ typical work that it becomes a fascinating sidebar in his filmography. Read full review

The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerMay 5, 2014
Season 1 Review: A documentary on PBS that has little to do with the war but is quietly revelatory, just as that earlier work was. Read full review

Washington PostHank StueverMay 5, 2014
Season 1 Review: As documentary subjects, the boys are in many ways impenetrable. Getting them to ignore the camera and just be themselves is next to impossible, but there are revealing, achingly honest moments that make the film worth watching. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert LloydMay 5, 2014
Season 1 Review: The Address is ragged and homely; it feels homemade, even amateurish at times.... But it is full of life and feeling; its rawness suits the subject, and helps rather than hinders Burns' cause. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The movie feels too long, padded even, but its relaxed vibe and non-cloying tone are a tonic. Read full review

Season 1 Review: While The Address is laudable, based on how loudly Burns’ voice echoes across the network, this one-off amounts to little more than an understated bit of throat-clearing before the next event. Read full review
