A Shoo-In Oscar For Best Cinematography

Rating: 9/10 (11 January 2020)

In terms of technical filmmaking, "1917" is easily one of the most impressive War films that I have seen, and not only for the one track shot. The settings are gorgeously depicted from beginning to end, with the editing and music perfectly matched. I found the story to be deeply moving (I was nearly in tears at one point near the end of the movie), but like any historical drama , there will be plenty to critique, and like any war film, there will be divided opinions.
But overall, I think "1917" deserves all the awards that it has already received, and I'm certain that this movie will get at least one Oscar, if not several, in a couple of weeks.
9/10
