What a movie

Rating: Null/10 (10 January 2020)

1917 is flat out brilliant. It's one of the best war films of the 2010's and of all time. It's a great war film and feels slightly fresher due to how well executed it is.
On a technical level, it is amazing. It's wonderfully directed and the choice to make it the film appear to be in one take is remarkable. There is a reason why Roger Deakins is one of the best cinematographers of all time of all time and this film once again proves it.
On a story level, it may not be that complex or deep but it's non stop intense and that's just brilliant. Throughout it is just thrilling and engaging.
Both the main leads are utterly fantastic especially George McKay. The supporting cast of people like Scott, Cumberbatch and Firth are good as well.
Overall it's a great film and one hell of a experience. It's seriously terrific and although it might not be as good as Hacksaw Ridge it is still outstanding in everyway.
