Dunkirk is a beautiful and unconventional World War 2 epic that is undoubtedly captivating, but it takes risks that may alienate some viewers.
When people talk about a film they think it's about the setting, but it's actually about the characters. Saving Private Rya...
Dunkirk was my best mate's favourite film of 2017. I find it difficult to understand exactly what drew him to this film so strongly. I find it difficult to say anything passionate about Dunkirk at all. I think I arguably felt some tension in the earlier moments, and...
I want to start by saying I’m tired of seeing the big names in every movie I see, I think at times big name actors can take away from a movie more than benefit. Dunkirk did a great job of allowing us to focus less on the actors and more on the story. I feel this movie ...
Very good.
'Dunkirk', as you'd expect given the director, is extremely well made. I particularly enjoyed how the film is shot, the sound editing and the score. It's a watchable story about an event from World War II.
I wouldn't, personally, say there's a ...
It starts off well, with a little glimpse of a British Soldier that was as unprepared as the UK for the war. It's a nice teaser...

Considering the quality and talent of those involved, the budget and all the variables, the film is unforgivably disappointing.
The Dunkirk disaster was one of the opening moments of World War II: in the face of the unstoppable advance of German troops, a mixture...
Yes.
Faced with imminent annihilation, over 400,000 troops are stranded on the beaches of Dunkirk facing bombardment from superior Nazi air and land power. Christoper Nolan manages to condense into the next 95 minutes the grimness of the situation, and the sheer determinatio...

3 groups of individuals - some fighter pilots, a private boat owner, and a group of soldiers trying to get out - during the evacuation of Dunkirk. Very realistic in its depiction as to what it must have been like but, for me, that's also its problem as it trie...
"Surely the filmmaker’s insistence upon imposing his favourite device upon all his narratives is edging towards Shyamalan-like overkill..."

I was a little disappointed with this movie. I expected much more. Cinematically it was brilliant and it was an event/action driven movie when left me feeling a little disconnected. We don't know anything about these characters that we see and I personally didn't feel a...
Tense film draws you to a doomed group.
Those how are veteran war historians will quibble at some parts of Dunkirk, notably the separation of English and French troops in evacuation and the ships used to evacuate them. Dunkirk uses a few conceits to keep you involved...
Okay first off, who came up with the idea "Let's all cast guys who look exactly the same"? With all the jumping around in the story I could not tell who was where and what was going on half the time. I see what he was trying to do on the cinematic side but it made it ...
I have put off viewing this film for quite a while. The main reason for this is that I am somewhat reluctant watching a movie where the story is pretty well known before you sit down to watch it. However a few days ago I finally did and, given all the hype, I have to sa...
