One of the few war films that had me completely immersed

Rating: 10/10 (11 January 2020)

If I had a give a quick summary, this film is breathtaking.
It sounds cliche, but it is one of the few war films which made me feel like I was there, like I was in the same situation as the soldiers - helpless, with a fear that an attack could come at any time. It doesn't focus on the typical action scenes you often find in war films which present the situation as an appealing and exciting one, but shows the monotony of trench warfare and portrays the emotions these young men were feeling.
One of the biggest assets to the film is the way it is shot, the single- shot camera work truly adds to this effect spoken about above. This combined with the fantastic acting and the details of the environment create, what I believe, is one of the best representations of war on the big screen. Go and see this film.
