Incredibly immersive war movie

Rating: 10/10 (11 January 2020)

1917 is an incredibly immersive war movie that's intense, emotional and harrowing. Dean-Charles Chapman and George MacKay both give incredibly committed performances and have great chemistry. Benedict Cumberbatch, Colin Firth, Andrew Scott and Richard Madden all give brief but effective performances. It's extremely well paced, consistently extremely engaging throughout. Sam Mendes' direction and Roger Deakins' cinematography is incredible, crafting a film that seamlessly appears as if
it's one continuous take. The music by Thomas Newman is excellent.
