A very good war film

Rating: 8/10 (20 August 2017)

I'm a big fan of Nolan. So this might be a biased review.
A war film which focuses mainly on fleeing rather than fighting can only become a classic when one of the best directors in the history of film making puts his mind to it. This is unlike the other second world war films, it avoids all the violence and gory. Instead of that its focused on the emotions of the characters. This is a brave approach for a war film and the end result was spectacular.
The cinematography was epic. The aerial shots of spitfires was mindblowingly good. This practical effect is a statement of Nolans brave and amazing visions. The following shots of soldiers put the audience in their shoes. The fear and uncertainty could be felt pouring out of the screen due the amazing work of Hoytema.
And then there was Hans Zimmer. His intense soundtrack just added another layer to the emotions shown on screen. The buildup of an intense sequence or the statement of epicness by the compositions of Zimmer is pivotal to this film.
The acting were great from every single actors, even the 1D guy surprised me!! The fear of the soldiers the honor of the Dawsons and the bravery of the pilots, everything were spectacularly acted by all the actors.
The massive production in the end gave us a war film to remember. I think this is one of Nolan's best works so far and will be in a lot of top war film lists in the days to come.
