One of the best films I've ever seen.

Rating: 10/10 (2 February 2020)

I haven't ever written a review on here before, although I always read them, but am moved to do so after watching 1917 last night. Quite simply a masterpiece from start to finish. Two hours of gripping, expertly filmed story-telling. Much has been said of the "one shot" effect, but it really does build tension and immerse you in the story like no film, for me, has ever done before. The unknown lead actors and the well-known actors in supporting roles gel together brilliantly, and I for one was transported through time and space and when the credits rolled I was left stunned, blinking, wondering what had just happened and how on earth Sam Mendez had managed it. Quite simply spectacular.
