Being British and having lived for many years near Swanage where some of the UK scenes were filmed I was really looking forward to seeing Dunkirk, Christopher Nolans first film based on true events. Maybe because of this I was a little disappointed and felt it could have been better but overall found it an enjoyable film. We don't get to feel the scale of what happened at Dunkirk when the allies were attempting to evacuate 400,000 troops to England. Instead we get to follow three separate stories called Mole, Sea and Air. Mole is following some of the soldiers trying to escape from the beach, Sea is the story of one of the many small boats that attempted to help the aforementioned troops escape and Air is about the RAF efforts to assist. There is one very emotional scene with the small boats approaching the beaches. Overall I would give the film 7.5 out of 10 and recommend it but advise some additional reading after seeing the film to fully understand the importance of Dunkirk in the Second World War.
