Dunkirk's reviews
Media reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
Dunkirk is an impressionist masterpiece. Is a war film like few others, but that conveys the whole through isolated, brilliantly realized, often private moments more than via sheer spectacle.
The Guardian
It is Nolan?s best film so far. Nolan surrounds his audience with chaos and horror from the outset, and amazing images and dazzlingly accomplished set pieces on a huge 70mm screen. As a terrifying, shattering spectacle.
Rolling Stone
The Oscar race for Best Picture is officially on. From first frame to last, Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk is a monumental achievement, a World War II epic of staggering visual spectacle (see it in IMAX if you can) that hits you like a shot in the heart.
The Playlist
There have been countless films this summer that have engaged in endless spectacle, but ?Dunkirk? is the rare blockbuster that will leave a bruise
Entertainment Weekly
This is visceral, big-budget filmmaking that can be called Art. It?s also, hands down, the best motion picture of the year so far.
Indiewire
'Dunkirk' is a bloodless but profoundly unnerving assault on the senses, a spectacle that searches for order in the midst of chaos.
Los Angeles Times
It's not so much that we've seen a splendid movie, though we have, but as if we've been taken inside a historic event, become wholly immersed in something real and alive.
New York Times
'Dunkirk' is a tour de force of cinematic craft and technique.
The Washington Post
'Dunkirk' bolts out the gate not like a thoroughbred racehorse, but like a pack of them, never stopping until it crosses the finish line.
Time
'Dunkirk' is extraordinary not just because it?s ambitious and beautifully executed, but because Nolan, who both wrote and directed it, has put so much care into its emotional details.
Variety
This is what audiences want from a Nolan movie, of course, as a master of the fantastic leaves his mark on historical events for the first time
The Wrap
It?s both a triumph for Nolan and a new bar toward which future action-based dramas should aspire.
Time Out
Dunkirk provides a short, sharp dose of the oddness and horror of war, dropping us right into the fray.
Vulture
Somewhere inside the mess that is 'Dunkirk' is a terrific linear movie.
