Successful Cinematic Experiment

Rating: 8/10 (26 January 2020)

Not really a fan of the war genre , but this is a film that is difficult to dismiss easily. Its seemingly one-shot cinematography is masterful how it captures a diverse landscape throughout the runtime. The narrative, based on Mendes' Grandfathers stories, balanced the right amount of tension in amongst the futility of war. Personally, I believe this experiment is more of a success than not.
