1917 is a beautifully made film from start to finish. It never waivers in its momentum. The filming techniques are great and capture the mood well. The Direction is great, it scores well in realism. There are no over the top moments and it builds up well. So when we have some pivotal events Mendes shows and allows us to experience moments. There is also an emotional payoff in the end. The acting is top notch and brought home well by a good cast. A truly great film that doesn't try too hard but simply delivers. 8/10
