Review
"Mendes has made a film that feels wholly alive. It's a carefully polished picture, not one that strives for gritty realism. But its inherent devotion to life and beauty is part of its power..."--Time Magazine"Gripping, heart-stopping, blood- and mud-soaked, immersive and unforgettable..."--Richard Roeper"In one of the best war films of all time, director Sam Mendes brilliantly delivers a story of two WWI soldiers on a mission that's a stunning technical accomplishment that unfurls as one single take - and a deeply felt tale of heroism under fire."--Rolling Stone"1917 is a modern war classic and one of the best movies of the year."--New York Post
