Best Movie of 2017

Rating: 10/10 (19 March 2018)

Dunkirk is an absolute modern masterpiece of cinema and by far the greatest movie of 2017 in my opinion. It should have won Best Picture and Nolan for Best Director in my opinion. It features such a mesmerising authenticity in its depiction of war as well as brilliant acting, directing and music.It astounds me with its realism and authenticity in its depiction of war, survival, bravery and heroism. To me, it's Nolan's best film since 2008's The Dark Knight. The direction is fantastic, the editing and sound effects are fantastic, the acting is fantastic and Hans Zimmer's score is breathtaking. The only problem that I have with this movie is the lack of depicting the French and their bravery ay Dunkirk, focusing a bit too much on the British. They did build a wall at Dunkirk to fight off the Nazis and to help the British and Allied troops escape, something that the film disappointingly left out. Even then, despite that one flaw, it is still a masterwork of modern cinema in my opinion and to me, by far the best movie of 2017.
