Hailed by critics as one of the best war films ever made, I must admit I once again disagree with them, as seems to be the norm. At times the characters are just too darn quiet, so much so that I wanted to urge them to just say something or make a sound or anything! Other times the music made it more interesting that what it really was. It was not very exciting nor very interesting. It wasn't suspenseful. Also, more often than not I got a sense of deja vu. It felt the action was going in repeat mode. It is essentially three stories: A small rescue yacht on its way to Dunkirk. Rescue aircraft on their way to Dunkirk. And soldiers at Dunkirk waiting to evacuate. None of the characters had very significant roles, in my opinion at least. I thought Mr Dawson (Mark Rylance) was the most distinct character of all, and seemed the most sensible, as well.

Having said that, though, there can be no denying the film is very well made.
