All the buzz and the hype around this movie beating Joker and the Irishman to the Golden Globe for Best Picture-Drama is understated in my opinion. What a brilliant, brilliant piece of cinema this is.
1917 grips you from the first sequence and refuses to let go as you cant help but root for Lance Corporals Tom and Blake in their torturous journey in the front lines of World War 1. More than Director Sam Mendes' stellar canvas that has paid attention to even the minutest of details, it is Roger Deakins' camera work that leaves you spellbound.
Relative newcomer George MacKay plays Lance Corporal Schofield with the subtlety and nuance of a seasoned actor and is brilliant in the emotional sequences towards the end.
Three very special guest appearances-two of our friends from Baker Street along with the "Young Wolf" add further sheen to what is clearly, the odds on favorite to win the Best Picture Oscar.
Do watch it in theaters for the full experience!
