One of the most human war movies ever made.

Rating: 9/10 (11 January 2020)

I want to watch this movie again, but as of now, this is one of the best war movies I've seen in a long time.
The movie is emotionally overwhelming, riveting, visceral, haunting yet beautiful and its gripping to the end. Director Sam Mendes masterfully evokes the harrowing horrors of WW1 while unearthed the humanity from within.
At times the shots were mesmerizing and a feast to the eyes, Deakins' technical prowess successfully gives this movie a very tangible experience, like peering a window into the past. The movie speaks volume when there is no dialogue, and thats where the movie truly distinguishes itself from other war movies, which often focuses on the characters.
Go out and watch it in the best theater possible, this movie is outstanding!
