An experience not to be missed

Rating: 10/10 (12 January 2020)

I don't normally gush about films, but "1917" is a singular masterpiece of cinema, which draws you into the action, the drama, the tragedy, the bleakness and the beauty. It never cuts away. It takes you on a journey into one day of the Great War, to witness the quiet and simply stated heroism of those who lived through the War. "1917" isn't so much a war film as it is a gripping and immersive experience, which holds onto you until the very end. It is the best film I've seen in years.
