Plot: Two British soldiers in WWI must cross enemy lines to deliver a message to (a very angry!!! grrr british grrr fuck off mate) Benedict Cumberbatch.
Review: There were too many 'hold your breath' moments to count, stunning camerawork and color palettes throughout, a riveting plot, naturalistic (i.e. peak British British British) acting, and a truly harrowing portrayal of war (there is a lot of stepping over corpses). When this film was at its peak, it reminded me of Dunkirk, which is high praise. However, I thought the few moments of calm were somewhat clunky... I would've preferred two hours of unfiltered adrenaline, but I guess I can settle for an hour and forty minutes worth. I don't think it should win the Oscar for Best Picture (as some critics have suggested), but it probably deserves a nomination.
