If I had stopped watching this film three quarters of the way through, I would think that very few if any made it back to England. Considering that the soldiers were not conscripts, the average age of those we saw appeared to be a little too young. There is not much dialogue except from Kenneth Branagh who is a bit OTT and appears to get loads of information although he never seems to leave the pier. However, I give full marks to Mark Rylance. A non acting debut for Harry Styles.
