Suspenseful and riveting

Rating: 9/10 (23 July 2017)

Nolan doesn't approach Dunkirk like other war movies. There are no scenes of dialogue where the characters are humanised, nor any visceral scenes of battle to hammer in how hellish war is.
Instead, the implication of horror and sparse dialogue, coupled with Hans Zimmer's excellent soundtrack, creates a tense atmosphere where time feels like it's running out. Though the characters don't say much, we relate to them in fear, and action.
As expected, there are neat little details in every character's action that makes them unique. This movie is definitely worth a watch.
