An astounding contribution to cinema

Rating: 10/10 (14 March 2020)

Nothing could prepare you for the beauty, fear and the picture painted here Medes direction, Newman's score. Deakin's fantastical cinematrography shine like the brightest stars in the sky. The performnaces of the leads are wonderful and MacKay deserved an Oscar nod at least. However. the honesty and true emotional core is its greatest strength. This is truly one of the greatest films of war (not a war film) ever made. Beautiful, horrifying, terrifying and upliftingly emotional. It is an astounding achievement.
