Trenchant Warfare: "1917," reviewed.

George MacKay is a doughboy on a desperate mission. (Francois Duhamel)

Here’s my review of Sam Mendes' 1917. I guess it doesn’t mean much to say it’s the best war movie since Dunkirk (whose Oscar-winning editor, Lee Smith, cut 1917 too) but it is, and it’s first film Mendes has made that I’ve found fully satisfying.
