Terrifying, heartbreaking, unsettlingly REAL

Rating: 10/10 (26 January 2020)

This movie was gripping, terrifying and so real that I spent much of it in tears, hoping for the end to come. To have a physical reaction like that to a film...I cannot describe how it deeply effected me. As a mother of two young adult men, to think this could have happened to my child...George was AMAZING in his role. I found myself mesmerised by his strength and determination against unbelievable odds. It was like watching my own son endure the unimaginable. I strongly recommend this film. As important to see as Schindler's List, a haunting reminder of what could happen again if we do not learn from the past. I would like to see 1917 again however I'm not sure I'm up for the emotional experience. Interesting...I have a CHOICE to expose myself again. We, however, will not if careless, impulsive and self-centered decisions continue to be made by our leaders. God help us all if that day should come again.
