Review of 1917 (2019) by Richard Whittaker for Austin Chronicle — 08 Jan 2020
Basing the story on family history, Mendes’ terrifying view of war is poetic and tragic, dreamlike without the forced stoner surrealism that too often afflicts war dramas. It is instead impressionistic, most especially in its highly structured cinematography.
