Dunkirk is a cinematically brilliant, and a storytelling wonder. The actualization of the gritty aspecrs of war, along with the intense emotions gripping each soldier involved, is one to behold.
This movie is one of those few movies which manages to handle a lot of moving parts in it which can be confusing at first.
A lot of the emotion of the movie is not conveyed through dialogues or its deliverance, but silent but decisive action, which makes all the characters all the more attractive to watch. The emotional payoff at the climax is exceptional, but comes at a cost of linearity of storytelling.
Hans Zimmer, yet again gives us a masterpiece to our ears, which throughout the movie, never loses it's grip on us and hence multiplies the emotional ups and downs manifold for a thrilling movie experience.
Stepping his toes into history, Christopher Nolan proves to us again of his versatility while still retaining his masterful touch.
