  Review by Ralph ★★★½ 85

  What Deakins was able to pull off here is really impressive, especially Écoust at night being lit by fire and flares. That was stunning. These oners must’ve been very demanding on MacKay and Chapman and yet they gave really natural performances.

  The rest of the film felt fairly surface level. This was sold as an experience film and how diegetic sound is used impacts my investment in an “experience” like this one. The music compositions work on their own, but I think they relied on the score too often. At times it deflated the tension and took me out of the experience. These are minor complaints as I was entranced by the technical craft of it, but without much character or plot to latch onto it can become tiring.

  Worth a visit to the theater or just watch it on your phone.

  Review by IHE ★★★½ 29

  Got milk?

  A fairly simple ‘boots on the ground’ WW1 story elevated by exceptional blocking, (Deakins) camerawork, set design and overall polish. Sags a little in the last third and the music can be too schmaltzy at times (a problem I’ve had with Thomas Newman in the past). Overall I’d say it’s worth a watch, it’s a grounded perspective that helps give a feel for how ruthless and terrifying the conflict was.

  it might be that i'm balls-i-don't-have deep into the witcher 3: wild hunt lately but this shit felt like a video game where the main quest is getting that letter to benedict cumberbatch while passing and getting help from all those English Celebrity Dudes™ and after the main quest is being competed, we got a secondary quest which is maybe optional, get the news to robb stark, tommen baratheon's brother. epic gamer moment
