Review of Dunkirk (2017) by Tia B — 02 Oct 2017
If you hadn't known Nolan was British prior to seeing this movie, you certainly would afterwards. Though it contains a generous amount of beautiful imagery and heart-stopping sequences, the overall tone of the film is constantly undercut by the equally gratuitous moments of romanticized patriotism.
Of course, this is to be expected from a film about the Dunkirk evacuation, however it is played in a way that feels like a cliché manipulation of the audience. The non-linear timeline of the story does have an "Aha!" effect for the viewer eventually, but overall does not enhance the story in any way.
