Dunkirk (2017)
Well Paced, Immersive, Inspiring and Heartfelt
25 May 2024
This movie is great because it doesn't try to do to much, it aims to reach achievable goals. With a modest runtime the inclusion of complex and nuanced characters could be tricky to pull off, but by grounding the film in a time and place the audience is familiar with, it allows a little to go a long way in terms of character exploration
The film is also gorgeous with wide sweeping shots capturing the scale, beauty, and horror of the war. The Performances are very strong all around Tom Hardy gives a great performance despite little dialogue and his face being mostly covered except for his eyes. I did find it a bit jarring when Harry Styles showed up he does a fine job but feels out of place in context of the the film.
