I like pretty much every Christopher Nolan movie, he has proved himself as one of the greatest 21st century directors time and time again. However, that doesn't mean that just because a movie says ¨Writen and directed by Christopher Nolan¨ its going to be perfect.
Is ¨Dunkirk¨ great?, Yes. Is it the 47th best movie of all time?, No. The acting is pretty amazing, the cinematography manages to make you feel in the middle of the story and the score by Hans Zimmer is amazing. Nolan remains a flawless technician: every shot, every explosion, every special effect, all with a purpose. It's a gorgeous film.
There aren't that many problems with the movie, but nonetheless, no movie is perfect. The editing is a bit too ambitious, I won't say why, but you'll get it when you see the movie. Also I ended up with a headache because of the constant shake of the camera. The story lacks bigger attachment to it's protagonists, of course I didn't want them to die, but the screenplay doesn't really seems to care as to what happens to them.
Grossly overrated, but truly special, ¨Dunkirk¨ is the most frustrated I've been with a Nolan film since 2005. Hopefully he'll get an Oscar nod for this, since the academy has a hard on for WW2 movies. Just calm down and don't listen to the fanboys, because this film deserves your honest opinion.
Overall: 7.8 Great
