This is why I love cinema

Rating: 10/10 (5 February 2020)

I'm so glad I got to see this in theaters.
I love how the movie is immersive, and it uses the "one shot" thing to be even more immersive, you feel like you are in the middle of WWI, alongside the two main characters. That's my favorite aspect of it. And isn't being immersive what a movie's goal is in the first place?
And man, the sequences throughout the film are insanely great. I believe the main example is towards the end where Sco has to run through a whole army that's running in the other direction, it's of the best and most suspenseful sequences of the year. A bit before that, there is another great sequence, that's just gorgeous, with the flare guns, and bombs lighting up the sk, while Sco runs and people shot at him.
The cinematography as a whole is outstanding, Roger Dickerson is really one of the (if not the) best cinematographer working today. It's beautiful.
The acting is really good as well, George MacKay is the heart and soul of the movie. Dean-Charles Chapman is also really good. And some great "cameos" of more known actors throughout the movie are also really entertaining, and they give solid performances. Like Benedict Cumberbatch, Richard Madden, Mark Strong, and Andrew Scott.
The movie is is emotional, thrilling, and gorgeous at the same time, and the score is great.
Anyways, to sum up, I freaking love the movie, it's one of the best war films I've ever seeing, it's my favorite 2019 movie, and truly an unique experience to have in a movie theater. There is not a better way to describe it than saying that it made me remember why I love cinema. And that's 100% true.
