Review of Dunkirk (2017) by Roberta E — 22 Jul 2017
Not just good. Superb. Without doubt the greatest film of the last 10 years. I shall watch this again this weekend. Literally that good. 10 / 10. Oscars must be due galore.
Fionn makes a spectacular entrance, Tom Hardy is terrific, Kenneth Branagh perfect. Mark Rylance is utterly riveting in his portrayal of a man set out to do what he believes is the right thing. Pace is spot on, the use of the ticking sound original. The audio is so good that it can never be viewed anywhere except the theater.
The dog fights reminded me of the best from 'Battle of Britain' but they are much, much greater still.
We feel the fear and the intensity without the need to be shown blood and gore. Enjoy as a Brit and feel proud but it also stands by itself as a triumph of the human spirit.
It just is that good.
