pressAstonishing as his filmmaking can be at times, it's Mendes' attention to character, more than the technique, that makes "1917" one of 2019's most impressive cinematic achievements.
Hollywood Reporter
pressThis is a protean display of virtuoso filmmaking, one that film aesthetes will wallow in but that even ordinary audiences will note and appreciate.
The Guardian
pressAn amazingly audacious film; as exciting as a heist movie, disturbing as a sci-fi nightmare.
Los Angeles Times
pressIt may be a grandiose flourish, but you can't deny it makes for a startlingly literal theater of war.
South China Morning Post
pressA visceral World War I movie that is both technically masterful and emotionally devastating. It's easily the best film of Mendes' career.
Empire Magazine
pressAlthough 1917's filmmaking very much brings attention to itself, it's an astonishing piece of filmmaking, portraying war with enormous panache. This is big-screen bravado, and then some.
Total Film
pressIt's a staggering technical achievement, one that will see Roger Deakins retaining his unofficial Greatest Living Cinematographer crown.
