Plot
In April 1917, two young British soldiers, Schofield and Blake, are given an impossible mission: to cross No Man's Land and enemy territory to deliver a message that will stop a doomed attack and save 1,600 men, including Blake's brother. Sam Mendes's 2019 film is staged to look like a single continuous take, and won three Academy Awards, for cinematography, visual effects and sound mixing.
Sinekatalog’s take
Two soldiers cross No Man's Land to deliver a message, filmed to look like a single take. Sam Mendes's technique is immersive and the pressure never lets up, though the story itself is simple.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
