I loved every minute of Dunkirk

Rating: 10/10 (2 April 2019)

Being the last day of the year, I thought I should review my absolute favourite film of 2017. Dunkirk directed by Christopher Nolan, was a movie which blew me away. I had to see it more than once in cinemas, due to how stunning it was visually. The beach, the ocean and the sky all looked incredible, with the help of little to no CGI, but just purely amazing cinematography. The reason as to why I love this film so much is because of how different and unconventional it is. Dunkirk represents war in the most realistic way. It shows you that in moments of horror, you don't always get to know the soldiers around you and their back story. This film deliberately throws the audience into the climax from the beginning. I loved how Christopher Nolan was able to tell such a simple story in a really complex way. This is shown with his play on time, which made the film all the more riveting. The score by Hans Zimmer added so much, and worked really well with the sounds of war. At times I was unable to seperate the two. Everything from the vulnerable performances to the runtime was perfect. I loved every minute of Dunkirk. The ending left me with goosebumps. So therefore I give it a 10. I've noticed I've mostly been reviewing movies I love, so in between my Star Wars series I will be sharing my thoughts on some films I hate with a passion... Look forward to that.
