Dunkirk is a the best directed film of the year and perhaps Christopher Nolan’s best film yet. The way he plays with space and time, alongside his technical prowess of sensory storytelling, makes the film so immersive in supplanting you into these events.

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...

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 7, 2024

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.

With Dunkirk, we finally have a magnum opus from Nolan that's set in a real, identifiable world; and it raises questions about the worst side of humankind – war.

Immerses you in war because it’s so stripped down, with Nolan wanting you to feel what the British soldiers are going through.

Perhaps Nolan’s most precise effort, Dunkirk is all at once a rousing testament to heroism and an unforgiving reminder of how the horrors of war unfold on the innocent.

I contend that not only has Nolan grown as an auteur, but that he has perfectly captured a universal truth to which all may relate and celebrate.

Dunkirk was a well-made film that really made me understand just how dire the entire situation was. It opened my eyes to the horrors of what those troops went through.

Dunkirk was a pivotal early moment in World War 2 and the Dunkirk spirit is something that has lived on through those most closely affected by it. Christopher Nolan brings it to the screen through an incredibly immersive and propulsive experience.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Aug 20, 2022

Audiences are quite understandably going to consider Dunkirk a war film, quite possibly one of the great war films of our age. Christopher Nolan's tenth picture is possibly an even better survival horror movie.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Mar 23, 2022

Nolan has crafted an impressive tribute to the survivors and the grand-scale efforts of the British people, resulting in the essential film about Dunkirk yet made.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 23, 2022

Director Christopher Nolan moves us from the epic to the intimate, giving us a sense of the scope of this event and then diving into the sensory experience of our dramatic representatives.

At 106 minutes, Dunkirk is one of the shortest films of Nolans career but on par with The Dark Knight as his best.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Feb 18, 2022

Pausing the cacophony for thirty seconds to let the strings swell while Kenneth Branagh's eyes moisten does not an emotional experience make

A film that vindicates the struggle of the anonymous heroes, solidarity, and highlights the importance of not giving up in the most adverse moments, where everything seems to be lost. A very necessary message for the times we live [Full review in Spanish]

Nolan's strength here is his ability to place audiences right into the thick of the various struggles taking place by air, land and sea.

One of the best films of the decade... leaves no doubt about Nolan's genius and his position within the pantheon of legendary directors. [Full review in Spanish]

Packing heart, visual flair and the acting debut of a certain Harry Styles, war movies don't get more gripping than this Christopher Nolan epic.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Apr 27, 2021

Previous Christopher Nolan films have been marred by overexplaining the premise. This film breaks free of such cumbersomeness, with many moments being sparse of dialogue.
