Karen Han Slashfilm The visuals, the structure, the use of sound and music, and the simple presence of a beating heart - all come together in a whole that is truly breathtaking. Rated: 9/10 Dec 8, 2017 Full Review Kristen Lopez Culturess Dunkirk shows off Nolan's own techniques as a filmmaker to make for a film that is technically, if not completely narratively, lustrous. Nov 20, 2017 Full Review Adam Nayman Cinema Scope The strange problem posed by the movie is, in terms of what it sets out to do, completely of a piece but missing the surge of feeling that would make that thing worth doing. Sep 28, 2017 Full Review Brendan Cassidy InSession Film Nolan chooses to put more weight in opening a door to save someone, or helping to bury a dead companion, than he is with saving a life. This makes Dunkirk surprisingly rewatchable, even on the small screen at home... Jul 2, 2024 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson As technically proficient and respectful to history as Dunkirk is, no substantial human anchors of emotion emerge in this film that wants to be seen as an inspiring rescue saga before a war film or historical epic. Rated: 3/5 Apr 7, 2024 Full Review Forrest Cardamenis Vague Visages Dunkirk, like Interstellar before it, fails not because it errs too far in one direction, but because of the same fundamental flaw — Nolan is not a gifted enough filmmaker to justify these films' more demanding conceits.

Steven M. Dunkirk is Christopher Nolan’s second best film! Excellent movie! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/29/21 Full Review Katie D Very intense acting, captivating score, a bit loud and difficult to understand but I appreciated that it didn't feel too long. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/15/21 Full Review leah h Harry Styles is a hottie 🩷✨💖🎀🤍💕 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/12/24 Full Review Pantera O "Home, They're going home" Soldados aliados evacuan Dunkerque en la segunda Guerra Mundial, enfrentando ataques por tierra, mar y aire. Épica. Bélica. Desigual. Increíbles tomas aereas de los aviones. Destaca el sonido como uno de los recursos mas importantes, una constante en el cine de Nolan. De repente tiene unos cambios muy bruscos en la fotografía. Muy buenos efectos visuales, con grandes explosiónes, manejando grandes grupos de personas. Con varios errores narrativos, donde rompen la coherencia del ambiente, quizas la producción se quedo corta para la narración, aunque también hay un par de errores en los detalles del guión. La devesatacion de la guerra, y una de las luchas mas memorables de la segunda guerra mundial. Sin duda una película que deja un sello en el genero bélico, pero que no puedo decir que esta a la altura de las grandes películas belicas. Inspira a luchar en situacion difíciles cuando todo parece estar perdido. Las peliculas bélicas no son lo mío, o tal vez no he visto una digna de sus magnitud. Solo apocalypse now me gusta de verdad. "What do you see?" La supervivencia es escencial frente al caos y la guerra. Técnica: 7.6 Expresión: 6.3 Efecto: 6.7 Experiencia: 6.1 Calificación: 6.6/10 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/13/24 Full Review Audience Member Retrata fatos históricos com uma genialidade trazida pelo Nolan. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/12/24 Full Review Gerald H Yes, it is breathtaking. But what is the necessity of these movies and movies and movies and … Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/05/24 Full Review Read all reviews
