Seldomly has a movie managed to transfer raw emotion in such an authentic fashion

Rating: 9/10 (1 February 2020)

This film reeks of compassion to the brave. It is reminescent of Lord of the Rings, in the sense that it's an adventure about two 'hobbits'. Tolkien, after all, served in WW1 too. The main characters embark on a similar quest as Frodo and Sam. It feels as if you join them on their journey. Like you're going hiking with a few friends, except every wrong move might kill you. The tension build-up from start to finish is impeccable. All great movies are about a journey. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is a journey, as is Apocalypse Now. This movie was missing the 'Marlon Brando' depth though, therefore it is not a 10. Never before has the first World War however been portrayed in such an intimate and beautifully shot fashion.
