Another Nolan Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (25 January 2018)

Nolan has created another masterpiece in the form of this suspenseful and grounded depiction of the evacuation of Dunkirk.
From a technical standpoint Nolan has really outdone himself from the shocking opening 10 minutes, the dogfights, and the nail-biting claustrophobic boat sequence.
The performances are top-notch all-around, with Tom Hardy probably the most impressive since for most of the movie he has to act with his eyes. However, both Mark Rylance and Cillian Murphy also really knock it out of the park.
Despite being yet another WWII movie, Nolan still finds a way to make it distinctly his and manages to stand out through it's focus on survival, minimal dialogue, and merciless clinical depiction of war.
