You anticipate that Hollywood movies will exaggerate on true stories, but this is the opposite. It turns the real heroics and scale of Dunkirk into an irrelevant close-call for a handful of miserable men.

330,000 men were rescued at Dunkirk, but for some reason this movie shows, at most, 2000. Hundreds if not thousands of civilian boats streamed across the channel to save these men.. but the movie depicts 4 or 5.

Why? It's as if someone forgot to fill the numbers up with CGI.

Dunkirk is such a great premise for a movie - a great escape; heroic soldiers; heroic civilians.. But this film has nothing.. It is factually inaccurate with no redeeming qualities.

Everything has been desaturated, why? Maybe the director thinks it makes the movie look more authentic.. As we all know from TV documentaries, there was very little colour in the 40's. What a ridiculous trope to climb on. A vivid portrayal would bring the reality of the past into the present day.. This is what you want from a historical movie, isn't it????

The desaturation of the colour is mirrored in the characters, story and pacing. The movie is lifeless, dull, overrated rubbish.
