Finally watched Dunkirk last night. Nolan is very hit or miss for me and I’m not as crazy about Oppenheimer as most (and will be annoyed when it sweeps the Oscars).
It was… very good? Not quite a 5 star film because the character work is basically non-existent. But that almost works in the films favor considering my issue with Nolan is usually his dialogue and / or the overwhelming sense that his film’s think they are smarter than they actually are.
Dunkirk just lets Nolan’s skills as a filmmaker tell a simple story and does it exceedingly well. And it knows when to end.
