It is good, but it definitely has problems.

Rating: 7/10 (5 August 2017)

It is definitely a good movie, but there are a few things that I didn't like. As you may know, Nolan presents the story of what happened when over 400k soldiers were trapped in Dunkirk during World War II and he decides to tell the story from three different perspectives: one from the ground at the beach, one from the air with a few pilots trying to keep away German planes from the beach and the fishermen that tried to help the soldiers to get away from the beach.
The cinematography is outstanding. The film looks amazing and the sound mixing is beautiful, except for the fact that some sounds are extremely loud, like the sounds from the planes when they are hearing them from the ground. I get that those sounds need to be louder but those were exaggerated to the point that they were bothering me and every time they appeared I was hoping that those scenes were over as fast as possible, something that isn't good for any movie.
Nolan decides to tell the three stories that are happening at different times and I think that that's where the movie struggles a little because at times I was confused because I didn't know exactly which characters we were looking at that moment. There was a time that it was daytime and at the next scene suddenly it was night time and then the next scene was daytime again and that threw me off a little.
I didn't want to talk about the acting because we all know that in a Nolan film it is expected to be great, but I'm going to talk about a casting choice that had a lot of people worried and it's Harry Styles. I didn't expect he was going to be that good. He showed a lot of emotions and was great overall, especially in the scene where (no spoilers) they're inside of a boat they find.
I would've liked the movie a little bit more if the narrative wasn't structured in that way, and some people liked it, which is fine, but I didn't. Is not that I hated it, it's just that they could've done it better. Either way, I recommend anyone who is reading this to go see it because it is worth your time.
