That sounds like a fantastic film, what else can you tell me about it?

It has been hailed as a top notch experience for cinematography, as the movie was shot in one long continuous scene.

Paul Assay from Plugged In said: "World War I is perhaps unequaled in its horrific brutality. 1917 takes us into that horror and doesn’t let us out of it for two hours."
