Moving...horrifying...beautiful

Rating: 9/10 (29 March 2020)

It is an art form being able to place you in what can only be described as hell on earth so you can emerge yourself in the terror that is trench warfare. This film was an absolute masterpiece as it achieved that in such a perfect way. Its impossible to imagine in modern times what each soldier lived through and the conditions they sustained...the constant fear knowing it can all be over in a flash. It would be 10/10 ... only small critique is that I didnt fully understand why there were so many massive actors with minuscule parts in this film, it wasnt required George Mackay & Dean Charles-Chapman were absolutely superb in this...the film would be a hit without the A-List hollywood names. Small and only criticism.
