There are points in this when you are simply taken aback by the images on the screen. Other times the plot sort of gets in the way of the visuals. This is one of THOSE movies. The acting in this is ace but is let down by a really dry, flat and overall predictable plot. Read more

1917 is more than a technical gimmick of filmmaking achievements, it is a war movie with a lot of heart, pacing that may leave you anxious and performances that will have you sobbing, cheering and possibly praying.

1917 is visually engaging experience, capturing the claustrophobic mess of trench warfare through the lens of a true auteur. Its one-shot approach definitely adds to the intensity and makes for a truly unique WWI experience. Unfortunately, the film's pacing holds the film back from becoming great, making the lacking script stick out like a sore thumb.

The visuals are consistently stunning. It may not be wholly original, occasionally plagued by the one-shot restrictions, but 1917 is a tremendous, spectacle-driven, edge-of-your-seat thriller. Read more

Met 1917 heeft Sam Mendes een nieuw meesterwerk afgeleverd. De prachtig geschoten beelden worden onderstreept door Thomas Newmans muziek en maken zo een onuitwisbare indruk. Het geheel is zo effectief dat je al het technisch vernuft achter de schermen vergeet. Read more

Voortreffelijk werk van Sam Mendes is nu al de film van het jaar om te verslaan, hoewel het wel een stevig kopie’tje is van Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk. Read more

Cinematografisch geweldig en dat het als één take oogt is ook leuk, maar voor ons zat er uiteindelijk te weinig spanning in de film. Read more
