Dunkirk
The story of more than three hundred soldiers that were rescued by miracle during the Dunkirk operation that took place at the beginning of the Second World War is shown in this movie. It starts with the hundreds of thousands of British and allied forces encirclement by the enemy forces. First they are trapped on the beach and then forced to face an incredible situation as they get back to the sea, while the enemy forces' control grows more and more.

I appreciated and liked a lot of what Nolan accomplished, but it was too impersonal and distant to fully love.

Technically awe-inspiring, narratively inventive and thematically complex, Dunkirk reinvigorates its genre with a war movie that is both harrowing and smart.

Christopher Nolan's genius for treating movies like chess matches... is brilliantly employed in this account of the British (and French) attempt to retreat across the English Channel from the coastal city of Dunkirk in the early years of World War II.

Ambitious, emotional, impressive, beautiful, terrifying and superbly cast, it's a fitting testimony to one of the most remarkable episodes in modern warfare.

It's a curious mix of old fashioned mawkishness, dewy eyed, if understated, patriotism, and contemporary art house narratological experimentation. It is, appropriately, very British (as we like to think of ourselves).

It is hard to imagine a better tribute to this victory of survival than Nolan's spare, stunning, extraordinarily ambitious film.

It's an extraordinary undertaking, and Nolan delivers a spellbinding ride. Out of the depths or man-made horror, he's created a gripping tale of human resolve.

A contemporary war movie that echoes classic combat films but eclipses them at the same time, Nolan's new epic puts Dunkirk on the cinematic map.

Dunkirk is a war movie that plays particularly well for people who don't typically like war movies.

Dunkirk's plot is fairly uncomplicated. The thrill is in the deeply exhilarating pace at which the action unfolds.

Heroism is celebrated, Spitfires fly, Churchill is reverently quoted and we're offered scenes of plucky British pathos that could have been written in the 1940s.

Despite all the substandard characterization, what we do see sucks us in enough to keep us invested and, at times, riveted.
