Violence & Gore
-
- Dunkirk contains intense and realistic sequences of war violence with many casualties by shooting, drowning, burning, and explosion shown. However, the film never lingers on the deaths and rarely shows blood.
- A group of soldiers are shot at by their enemies, no blood, but most of them are killed
- A group of soldiers are bombed by a plane, the explosions are very loud and some are implied to be killed.
- A man is seen burying a dead man.
- A ship is hit by several bombs and ends up sinking while several men attempt to get away.
- A man is implied to have had his leg crushed by a ship. Nothing is seen, but he screams in pain.
- A ship is hit by a torpedo and sunk. We see several people trapped inside and panicking as it fills with water. A man opens a door, allowing some of the people to escape, but it's implied that the rest of them end up drowning.
- A group of men get trapped in a boat that's shot at repeatedly. One man is shot in the hand and screams in pain.

Profanity
-
- Very few uses of 'Shit' and 'Bloody' .
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- There is smoking throughout the whole movie.
- Soldiers are given celebratory alcohol at the film's close.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- The whole film is impeccably intense in its nature. The displays of warfare can be particularly distressing although blood and gore is never really shown.
- The character of the 'Shivering Soldier' is perceived as an analogy for shell-shocked soldiers as a result of warfare in WWII. His character suffers from PTSD.
- The film is intended to be realistic and demonstrate the stressful nature of warfare on those fighting it.
Spoilers
Violence & Gore

- A man gets his leg tangled in chains and is trapped in a sinking boat. It is implied that he drowned.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- The ending where a 'Spitfire flyer' is taken captive by the Germans may be emotionally intense.
- The scene when George dies is very intense for some viewers.
