Outstanding is the word

Rating: 10/10 (6 March 2020)

Everything about this movie hits perfectly. As a long time fan of war movies and just historical films in general I was amped for 1917. As a long time fan of cinematography and how it can shape a films story and tone; I was also amped. If you take the constant one take away from the movie you still have something incredible here. You get a journey out of the 90 min plus run time, and you're in it for every second. The one take makes you feel like you're on this journey with these soldiers. When they get shot at you feel like you got shot at, when they crawl in the mud you feel like you're in the mud etc. The performance by the leading man is great and I hope to see him in future films or tv. A true race against time war thriller is one that I highly recommend not to just cinema buffs but just anybody that enjoys a good movie. While those with short attention spans may think it's boring because theirs not constant blood or witty banter all the time, but don't let that subtract anything from the film. It took a note from Dunkirk in the fact that soldiers when they are in these situations, probably are not talking too much. 1917 flawless, riveting, engaging, 10/10
