This movie is a visual delight, but its narrative may seem uninteresting.

The simple premise makes the whole story seem uninteresting, especially at the beginning when we don't know the characters well and don't connect emotionally with them, although later there begins to be an emotional connection with them, but it's still difficult to pay your full attention to the plot. This does not happen with the visual, since the wonderful photography immerses us in what the characters are going through, as well as the production design is great as we feel part of that war with realistic and very well built sets. The performances reflect many feelings, especially those related to the horrors of war. The editing manages to make the film seem like it's done in one sequence, and the sound is splendid in replicating the roar of guns and bombs. Of course it has some flaws such as the conveniences in the plot at the time of getting out of difficult situations, and also its lack of creating a greater interest on the plot.

I think it's a revolutionary visually film due to the great camera work and the superb and precise production design, but narratively it's weak as it doesn't generate much interest in the plot and its characters.
