Excruciatingly slow paced noir from Del Toro that somehow kind of comes together in the end. Not sure if the limited lighting was on purpose, because in certain scenes you could barely make out what's going on. The true standout achievement here is Tamara Deverell’s production design work which is just marvelous.
1917 is a breathtaking achievement only possible with a supremely talented director. Sam Mendes' audacious WWI epic seamlessly combines Deakins' flawless cinematography, Newman's haunting score & a knockout George McKay, proving 1917 is filmmaking at its utmost best.

Every single actor involved is outstanding, with compelling acting from the supporting cast, which includes a feisty Laura Dern to a headstrong Alan Alda. But this…
