Sam Mendes' war epic tells a compelling story of bravery, with outstanding performances by George MacKay and Dean-Charles Chapman, enhanced by its unique one-shot filming technique.

Roger Ebert

When all is said and done, '1917' is basically a gimmick film. If that is enough for you, you may admire it for its accomplishments. Personally, I wanted more.

Variety

Heroism reflects courage, of course. But that’s not the same as an absence of fear. There are scenes in “1917” when audiences will see Blake and Schofield panic-stricken, terrified and even in tears.

TIME

But sometimes a face can take you 90 percent of the way. And although Sam Mendes’ extraordinary World War I drama 1917 is notable for the technical feat of its cinematography...the true key to its effectiveness is the face of one of its central actors, George MacKay.

BBC

Mendes immerses viewers in the young soldiers’ experience when they are sent on foot across no-man’s land with a message that could prevent a slaughter.

Entertainment Weekly

Shooting the action in what appears to be one continuous, nearly two-hour take could feel like merely a filmmaker’s trick. Instead, Roger Deakins effectively drops the viewer into the center of the story and compels them to stay there, fully immersed in every muddy step, hunger pang, and rifle click.

The Hollywood Reporter

This is a protean display of virtuoso filmmaking, one that film aesthetes will wallow in but that even ordinary audiences will note and appreciate.

Absolutely incredible - I've seen it 3 times in cinemas and each time I find myself even more in awe of, blown away by, and in love with this film.
