The technique of the "long take" is like a shredding guitar solo.

As technically impressive as it is, it should only work to serve the entire larger goal. Mostly, 1917 succeeded, seamlessly & un-distractingly placing us within the mud-covered boots of young men forced into war. At others, I was too focused on it, constantly trying to pinpoint where the "edit-cheats" were hiding. Ultimately, it's a war movie more about adrenalin & inspiration that brains or ethics...not bad, I just think I'm more interest in the latter.
