Like all of Burns' other films... it's an absorbing history lesson.

Mostly, though, Burns and Novick face the opposite challenge: an excess of material. The evidence of the eventfulness of that life -- its exteriority -- is extensive, to say the least. Meeting that challenge, they demonstrate a fine eye for detail.

Hemingway never shirks from the writer's dark side - considering his ultimate fate, echoing his own father's suicide, how could it? - but the film also makes a strong and moving case for his enduring masterworks and their insight into human nature.

While many documentary series drags on these days, "Hemingway" chronicles a life with so many pieces that six hours, in this case, doesn't feel like too much to ask.

From the eclectic stylings to the difficult phases in their relationship, the first hour doesn't shy away from the darkness, volatility, and bluntness surrounding the writer's life while serving as a through-line for the man he will become.

It's not just the details unearthed here that make this a must-watch -- it's how everyone involved comes together to illuminate more than could be gained from a traditional biographical series.

Hemingway is an engaging and beautifully constructed character study and proof that whatever Burns chooses to cover as a filmmaker will more than likely become the definitive documentary on that specific topic.

The biggest compliment I can pay "Hemingway" is that it made me pull my "Collected Short Stories" off the shelf after years, to read his piercing, full-feeling work in a new light.

It doesn't avoid or excuse Hemingway's excesses and betrayals and failures. Instead it enhances our understanding of the man by probing deeply into both his life and his writings.

This is a must-watch experience for devotees who have devoured such classics as "A Farewell to Arms," "For Whom the Bell Tolls" and "The Sun Also Rises," and it's essential viewing for those only passingly familiar with Hemingway...

What happens here is a journey toward the man's psyche and it is a gripping but uneasy journey.
