Movie Review: Dunkirk (2017)

Hello All,

    Sorry this is late, I’ve just been busy, and I’m also rather exhausted, so let’s get straight to this shall we?

Plot Summary - Told from three overlapping points of view, the film follows the true events of the evacuation of Dunkirk during the second world war.

Pros - The film is quite brilliant in capturing the intensity of the situation. Rather than having you focus on particular people, it prefers more to throw you in head first into the battle, and then subject you the multiple stories going on. The actors we do see the most do very well with their roles, managing to get in as much as they can in in each segment they have.

Cons - This section is going to be a bit tricky to explain, especially without trying to spoil it, but here goes. The way the film is structured, it took me a little longer than it should have for me to follow the story properly, as it does a lot of jumping around between parts. Once it clicks in though, it does help the already great film become even better. If non-linear structures aren’t for you though, you definitely won’t like Dunkirk.

Final Score - 9/10

If it wasn’t for the rough patch in the beginning, it would’ve been a 10, but for now I still say check it out, especially knowing what you know now (Hopefully.)

Next: The Big Sick - I am determined to see this if it fucking kills me. Hopefully Monday, maybe Tuesday depending on a key thing.
