What Deakins was able to pull off here is really impressive, especially Écoust at night being lit by fire and flares. That was stunning. These oners must’ve been very demanding on MacKay and Chapman and yet they gave really natural performances. The rest of the film felt…
RalphJan 10, 2020Got milk? A fairly simple ‘boots on the ground’ WW1 story elevated by exceptional blocking, (Deakins) camerawork, set design and overall polish. Sags a little in the last third and the music can be too schmaltzy at times (a problem I’ve had with Thomas Newman in the past).…

1917’s cinematography is great. The use of the long shot in this film is brilliant. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. 8/10
Lyn loved1917love a war movie
Kelsey Jay loved1917One of the best movies I ever seen. The cinematography is, not only breathtaking, but the director’s choice of extended scenes was perfect as it makes you feel like you are truly going on the journey with the protagonist. It is heartbreaking, powerful, and beautiful. Must watch!!

Wonderful story told in a way I’ve never experienced before. One of the best movies I’ve ever seen.
DADaniel AndradeThis is one of those films, not a movie, a film, that must be seen in the movie theater. It is so expertly crafted and well made, it’s breathtaking in it’s execution. 1917 is one of the most beautifully shot and haunting war films I have ever seen and is a harrowing film.…

War is much on the minds of people right now, and 1917 is a good reminder, flaws and all, of what that really entails. The contradiction, of course, is that it is not one long slog through gorgeous sunsets, but a million little moments that make up the effort. That’s kind of the movie Mendes made, and yet it’s not. You want to feel a movie like this, but too often you simply appreciate it.

The film is a genre entertainment and, like all such beasts, it honours certain conventions and allows certain compromises.

As 1917 goes on and the pair face a series of logistical challenges (navigating a collapsing bunker, crossing a bombed-out bridge), the film’s form begins to resemble that of a video game—only without the user interaction that makes games so compelling.
