Christopher Nolan is back at it again...

Rating: 8/10 (23 July 2017)

The film doesn't have much dialogue. But you don't really need it, cause Christopher Nolan really captures the feeling of the war. The visuals were amazing in the film, and all the actors were great. Again, you didn't need constant dialogue, because a look on their face would say it all.
The story is pretty much follows 3 characters. One is Fionn Whitehead, who plays a young soldier looking to be evacuated. One is Tom Hardy, a pilot. And the last is Mark Rylance who is a private citizen using his yacht to rescue soldiers. The most engaging storyline was Fionn's. I think we spend the most time with that character. Also, even though I expected that they wanted to tie story lines together, and the characters would cross paths with one another, it did somewhat feel a bit hokey that it was Mark Rylance's boat that rescued Fionn. It also didn't come much as a surprise to me Aneurin Barnard's character ended up being French. I also wasn't surprised that they killed off one of the young cast members. I figured they would go with that angle of showcasing how sad it is that they died before their life really began.
Technically, I think the film was well directed, had great cinematography, a good score. All would be deserving of Oscars. I think the editing could have been a bit better. Because you're following 3 different story lines (and they are happening at different times) it can be hard to follow.
Also, I know some people are very curious about Harry Styles. He does a very good job, and he has surprisingly a decent sized role/screen time.
