Just a small footnote...

Rating: 5/10 (6 August 2017)

I couldn't agree more with the bulk of these reviews--great movie but lacking emotional grab. I just wanted to add that a recent release is an excellent "bookend" to this work: "Their Finest" is about Dunkirk, too, but with overwhelming emotional engagement (it's a romance above all else). A marvelous movie about Dunkirk, from the perspective of the British department of propaganda burdened with producing short movies promoting the war. Subtle humor throughout, as well.
