To What Remains

While there didn't always seem to be enough unique stories to sustain the length of a feature, "To What Remains" is all about honoring the ultimate sacrifices made. In that respect, it's enormously successful.

It's the kind of film you can see on the History Channel, and should appeal to that station's viewers.

A somber movie, with an emotional musical score to match, that traffics in ceremony, sentiment and that combat veteran's "leave no man behind" code.

To What Remainsis riveting, as its story is a noble pursuit that can help many families get closure.

Despite the stories and the interesting topic, I couldn't quite get into the movie. I feel like the filmmaking choices weren't quite up to the material they were showcasing.

chronicles the 2018 recovery mission and takes viewers on an emotional rollercoaster.
