Best war film I've seen!

Rating: 10/10 (11 January 2020)

Wow, just wow!
Saw this film last night and I've been raving about it since. It is so unique in the way it has been shot, seemingly as one continuous shot so you really feel as though you are in the trenches with the characters. It is incredibly emotionally and I was on the verge of tears several times. I also jumped several times during some very tense moments. The cameos from several famous British faces are not distracting as some critics have claimed and you feel mild relief during these moments as if you have seen a familiar face.
The two leads are very good but it is the outstanding direction that makes this the best war film I've seen. The set pieces are almost beautiful at times (strange to say about a war film I know). There are two sequences in particular that my mouth dropped open watching for the visual effects alone.
I could not recommend this more and it certainly deserves the awards it is getting.
