Review of 1917

1917 (2019)
9/10
A memorable take at an unforgettable war.
30 December 2020
Make sure you have the undivided attention before going into this movie. It is intense, insane, with so many jawdropping moments. It absorbs you and your full emotional depths into living the experience of World War I by depicting it through two cinematographically-made-to-seem-like single uncut scenes.

Everything is on point, regardless to some minor plotholes and goofs, this is one of the better ones at portraying and manifesting the horror of wars, the agony of soldiers, the suffering and the sacrifices. I can't say much without spoiling much.

I am not even a British guy, nor a European guy, I do not belong to any of the sides of this war nor has my country ever partaken in one. But I got emotionally-invested, this is a gem and a must-watch. The only downside is that the non-rewatchability since the style of the movie doesn't really root for it. 9/10
