Rating: 10/10 (31 January 2020)

There is not many movies out there that does the unique and hard way to make a film in one continuous shot and Sam Mendes did it here with one if not the best movie of 2019. It's a war movie but far from something that we are used to watch, what we did get was a very real portrayal of The Great War and everything horrible about it.
Right from the start we get introduced to the two characters and they then start their adventure, it does not take a long while to the true horrors of WW1 to be shown to us and its what the actors, script and direction succeeded in doing, creating an incredible experience.
The production design is just extraordinary, sets most of all. To think of all the trenches they dug and everything else, it's amazing how hard all the crew worked to create this masterpiece. Cinematography was simply superb, giving us shots that makes us immersed, focusing on the environment and everything on the screen when the actors aren't in the focus made us feel the shocking sights the soldiers had to see everyday. Musical score was one other highlight, keeping us suspense with music fitting a war movie. Why should you watch this movie, a war movie that earned 10 nominations in the Oscar's. You'll experience something totally unique, visually stunning that makes your eyes stick to the screen and witnessing acting that portrays realistic soldiers. It's a masterpiece in its genre and in film!
