Believe the hype

I've been watching BTS videos of 1917 all week, wanting to know all about how the one shot filming process was done. Went into the film worrying that I'd hyped myself up and would be disappointed. I sure wasn't. 1917 is a masterpiece, from start to finish, gorgeous shot, beautifully acted, the music is stunning, every emotion conveyed is felt to its fullest, with such a dynamic score, from the rising tension in the bunkers, to the epic buildup during the trench run.
1917 also manages to convey the horrors of war, both physical and mental, without relying heavily on gore, it's a good balance.
I could not recommend this film any higher, do yourself a favour and watch it while it's in cinemas
