Christopher Just something you have to experience at least once in your life Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/25 Full Review Tom A wall of sound creating a mounting sense of dread for the men who found themselves surprised and cutoff by a relentless enemy. An imperfect film but one that uses sound design and editing with precision to create a sense of ever rising anxiety and dread. In that most crucial sense, I think the film accomplishes its mission at creating an authentic set of feelings for the audience while still honoring the memory of the men who experienced this battle firsthand.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/29/21 Full Review Katie D Very intense acting, captivating score, a bit loud and difficult to understand but I appreciated that it didn't feel too long. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/15/21 Full Review Alec S. Another Christopher Nolan masterpiece that I loved seeing twice in theaters and is my favorite summer time plus war movie. I really loved how it was told by the perspectives of land, sea and air. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/17/25 Full Review Romas M Greetings from Lithuania. First of all - "Dunkirk" (2017) is not the best war film ever made in my opinion. By far. I don't think that there ever will be a better war movies then "Apocalypse Now" (1979) or even "Saving Private Ryan" (1998), "Platoon" (1986) or "The Thin Red Line" (1998). It is not even the best Christopher Nolan movie at the moment (the crown goes to "Interstellar (2014)). That said, "Dunkirk" is something absolutely unique, stunning, kinda mesmerizing movie going experience. It is not perfect, sometimes even a bit confusing (because of the time lines, but its not "overdone") movie, but the one which absolutely has to be seen in a movie theater. The best thing about "Dunkirk" is the craftsmanship and the biggest star of "Dunkirk" is without a doubt Christopher Nolan. The script in here is not a great one, and like i said i was a bit confused at some moments, but the storytelling here is so powerful itself that it tells everything. Music is simply astonishing. Hans Zimmer (again) does something absolutely unique with Nolan movie - it transcendence the whole experience. Cinematography by Hoyte Van Hoytema is a masterpiece. Sound design and sound mixing are so good, so sharp that it adds more to this movie then just a sound - it makes you kinda grab your seat. So here are the 4 Oscar nominations for sure - best director, music, cinematography (probably a winner) and sounds (sure winners). Acting was good given the roles, but nothing very memorable except for a great Mark Rylance and Fionn Whitehead which i really liked in this role. Overall, "Dunkirk" is not a bloody or gore war movie. Its "horror" is terror. The situation itself and how it is presented in this movie made me think couple of times about the war that this is a true terror. This is not an "easy" movie going experience because you have to pay attention during a whole movie and it doesn't have sharp characters to which you can relate - its about a situation at the moment - right here right now. There are "time line" sections / intersections that makes you think about what you are seeing. And it is done so unique, so ambitious that i probably haven't witnessed this kinda movie before. "Dunkirk" is not a mainstream "war movie", basically it is a thriller set in a WW2. But its crafted so uniquely that it can not be missed. A sure classic, if not for everyone.
