A singularly visceral movie-going experience and a cinematographic tour de force...

Rating: 10/10 (1 February 2020)

Spectacular! It was riveting, tense, and the most singularly visceral war movie I may have ever seen. It was a cinematographic tour de force. What could have been a gimmick of single-take shot, instead provided incredible verisimilitude and for the first time I could begin to imagine what trench warfare might have been like in WWI. The score by Thomas Newman was propulsive and as much or greater part of the film all around, but FWIW, my pulse was still racing thirty minutes later in the lift on the way up to our apartment. I highly recommend seeing this in the theatre, even if war movies aren't your thing.
