Oscar worthy? Maybe

Rating: 8/10 (1 February 2020)

I had great expectations for this movie because of the strong casting of Colin Firth, Benedict Cumberbatch , Andrew Scott and Mark Strong. I was sad to find out their scenes were very specific and not much. Dean- Charles Chapman's role as lance corporal Blake had a big Emotional impact on me? His scene moved me very much. George Mackay was kind of the leading actor but I wasn't much impressed. I'm not a big fan of one take movies... but that's how it was done, there were a couple of scenes that I thought were strong but overall, the movie was very quiet with minimal dialogue which I expected more of. But you can see the artistry in the direction and production for sure. To Win Best Picture, it might since it won a Golden globe. But for my taste, Angelina Jolie's Unbroken was a lot more better than this as a war genre movie
