A beautifully directed film. As beautiful as a war story can be. It really gives you an idea of how horrible WWI really was. Granted, I understand it was only scratching the surface of that war, but one gets the idea. It's absolutely intense 15 minutes and on, but absolutely well done. I wanted to cry a few times because of how anxious I was for the characters and knowing what they were going into and what they had to face.
