Truly an amazing film.

Spoiler free review of 1917,
To be honest it is one of the best war films I have watched. The film was perfectly balanced with shocking scenes that were somehow made to feel like everyday experiences in the way the characters must view them before you realise that what your watching is truly horrifying, then moving into scenes that could draw out a sense of realisation as you remember this was something that people actually went through.
The whole range of techniques lent itself to the story telling such as the music, sound effects and use of silence to completely deprive you of comfort or to shift your emotion to exactly the right place. The way to the camera worked made you truly feel like you are there with the characters feeling everything they felt. The acting was phenomenal and made every scene feel tense, happy or lonely depending on how the story progressed.
Truly an amazing film that leaves out none of the horrors of war, I would definitely recommend you watch it.
