POSITIVES:

1) Mark Rylance and Kenneth Branagh add necessary gravitas to the film 2) The film is superbly put together - the cinematography and the score are fantastic 3) Nolan definitely attempts to put his own spin on the 'war film' genre with the three different narratives taking place in three different time frames. The narrative entitled 'the sea' was by far the most compelling one for me, with terrific performances from Mark Rylance and Cillian Murphy

NEGATIVES:

1) There are definitely times in which the narrative entitled 'the mole' feels like it's dragging 2) Harry Styles was unnecessary, he's not a good actor 3) If you're an avid film fan like myself you've probably seen enough war films by this point that you've become desensitised to a lot of the themes of this film, because they're similar to the themes of every war film
