Absolutely astonishing

Rating: 10/10 (26 January 2020)

In awe of this movie. An absolutely immersive experience that has you tense and gripped from the moment it begins and carries you with it throughout, it will stay with me for a long time. So ultra realistic, even in simple terms the muddy boots slipping as the two make their way across no man"s land brings home the realities. George Mackay's performance shouldn't be underestimated, you can't take your eyes off him and yet it never felt anything but honest and real, never caught "acting' he's just simply wonderful, he needs nominating for what looks like sheer endurance and beauty and pureness of performance. Other names too are great. But also the music, direction and Roger Deakins had left me stunned. Roger/Sam must win the Oscars. Beautiful, poignant, inventive, just amazing. Can't fault it and can't stop thinking about it either. Sam Mendes has produced something very special.
