I liked it better than SPR. I read there was no dialogue. Didn’t need more than there was. I read it had overpowering music. Thought it spoke better than needless dialogue. I think it will go down as one of the best war films. My wife, who was born in Wales, whose parents lived through that, hated it.

She had a point: if you knew nothing about history and WWII, and the battle in particular, it will leave you quite flustered as to wtf is going on.

Said that to my wife when we got back. I f you have no idea about he battle then it is a waste of time as you will hate the movie.
If you know about the battle then you don’t need endless dialogue. All you do is focus on the sacrifices those people displayed.

Doesn’t that describe war itself?

Here’s a good documentary that’ll educate you on Dunkirk with vintage photography, etc......
