Horror film meets fairy tail

Rating: 7/10 (10 January 2020)

I thought we would finally have a solid WW1 film in store, but instead we got a horror film meets a fairy tail. I wish they spent as much time and effort on writing the plot and the script as the did on the cinematography and set design. The acting was robust no doubt, but I would expect a film of this caliber with a $100M budget to hold at least the slightest bit of historical accuracy or realistic screenplay. This film made Hacksaw Ridge look like a History Channel documentary and The fact that the hollywood foreign press gave 1917 a Golden Global for best drama just proves Ricky Gervais right.... Netflix has already won. They made a mockery out of The Great War.
