not normally my style movie, but it was well made in the fact that it was very up close and personal with it's different perspectives and vivid imagery.

Christopher Nolan did great with the shots and the imaging of the film but overall it was a war movie without the war.

Nolan brings us what is possibly his best film to date that grabs you with tension from the opening scene and doesn't let go till the closing credits.

Not your usual war movie, but still moving. Gives you a window into what it might have been like on Dunkirk that day. Shows the magnitude and immensity of what happened there during the war.

Even though I think it was a little dramatic of Harry to cry at his own film, I get it. It was an amazing film. It left my friend incapable of doing human things. Has my friend recovered yet? I would say not.

Christopher Nolan is one of my favorite directors. So I know what I was going to get before seeing this film. This is the best war film I have ever seen since Saving Private Ryan. It is purely visceral and suspenseful during all its action scenes. The sound design is…

I believe this film is a new type of war film for those that enjoy war films. The film focuses solely on the events of Dunkirk. Personally, the film feels like it is missing. The soundtrack does deliver and is rememberable - handled by Hans Zimmer once again - like…

While I did highly enjoy this movie, I completely understand why some will not. The movie is very slow and is more of a story than an action or drama movie with most of the movie being portrayed with visuals along with Hans Zimmer's score compared to heavy dialogue or…

Seldom has a film so eloquently captured the craziness, brutality and arbitrariness of war. Dunkirk just might be Nolan’s masterpiece.

Great directors make great movies. And with Dunkirk, Christopher Nolan has made his second masterpiece, thrilling history retold, remembered and relished.

Few movies have so palpably conveyed the sheer isolation of fear, and the extent to which history is often made by people who are just trying to survive it — few movies have so vividly illustrated that one man can only do as much for his country as a country can do for one of its men.
