This movie throws a lot of curve balls at you: an uncanny dedication to Chekhov's gun, a To Live and Die in L.A. style death mid movie, Richard Madden playing the brother that survives, and so on.

Too often during 1917 you are acutely conscious of the fact you're watching actors performing on a soundstage. This dreamy, surreal quality would work well if everything wasn't supposed to be so gritty and real, but the overly-theatrical direction and unnaturally stiff performances distance you from the piece rather than draw you further in. It's a shame as there's a lot to praise here, not least the fact it feels 'different' from anything else. Definitely worth a second viewing in the future.

Top badass moment? Early on our hero cuts his hand on some barbed wire. That should serve as a warning to anyone that they're going to have one of those really shit days. This is an eye meltingly beautiful but casually horrific viewing experience. But the plot, two mates go for a walk to deliver a letter and come across some vandalised trees, is a bit weak. And can any Germans actually shoot straight? The perfect movie to frame and hang on your wall. No cats, chainsaws or decapitations.

Tries hard to create immersion and interest through formal means, but like most, if not all, contemporary US films that employ a long take approach, its potential 'radicalism' is neutralised by an utterly conventional story and the rather limited goal of achieving verisimilitude, which is undercut here by the use of non-diagetic sound to heighten the tension and drama rather mechanically. Consequently, it's technique over artistry, closer to prose than poetry. Watch Dunkirk instead.

This is masterful filming, to say the least. There are some wonderful shots in this film, for example when the first wave starts. Marvelous shot. The one-shot technique is incredible. On the other hand, this is the biggest plus. Storywise, it's quite thin and the film even lacks some pace towards the end. It's good, especially in a technical way, but it's certainly no masterpiece.

Works okay when the concept isn't drawing attention to itself. I feel like during a war movie I should be thinking about war more than film-making technique and that breaks every time I notice some critical thing that could screw up the take and think shit like "how did they ensure the rat would run the right direction on cue? wow he reloaded that rifle flawlessly 20 mins in I would have messed that up!" and then it's only impressive as a kind of cinematic Rube Goldberg machine.

For the first half-hour, the one-shot style didn't seem to rise above gimmick level but it won me over as the film progressed, lending a cohesive sense of geography and time that surpasses other war films of this ilk. Most of the hidden cuts are well-executed (impressive CG double usage) but there are some distracting cuts as well, and come on, cutting to black is totally cheating in the one-shot game. Far more distracting, however, are all the pointless cameos in roles without any meat to them

Perhaps more than any other genre, war movies put on display Hollywood's often staggering gap between absurdly expensive, lavish production values, and total bullshit scripts.

It was a lovely movie, very well-shot and well-acted and with a great score. But to be honest, I didn't like it that much. I found myself getting a bit bored.
