1917

[WellGoshDarnIt]

Anyone else been today? DH and I just came out. We thought it was absolutely brilliant. We're both quite drained now! Do take tissues.

[Ohfrigginghellers]

Yes it was amazing. I was gripped and on the edge of my seat.

[Rosie2000]

Emotionally draining-what a film. At the end everyone sat still and didn’t move for at least 5 minutes.

[Lizze87]

Such a good film! The bit with the rat made me jump out of my seat!

[FuckyNel]

Going to see this tonight - good tip about tissues!

[EnidBlyton]

want to see this.

[Filmtalk]

I thought it was fantastic. Don't want to say too much as I see there are posters who haven't watched it but it wasn't quite what I was expecting.

[CormoranStrike]

Our cinema was packed and utterly silent throughout.

Even walking out there was a hushed reverence.

Very good and so cleverly shot.

[FuckyNel]

Brilliant film

[Snowy111]

Incredible. And so sad.

[Cookiedough123]

I watched it last night and thought it was a fantastic film. It really hooked me into the story

[Filmtalk]

The cinematography was amazing but I think it was the drama of the storyline which surprised me. It was very gripping.

[CherryPavlova]

Very good film.

[IHaveBrilloHair]

Going on Tuesday, really looking forward to it.

[rookiemere]

Just seen it - booked it as a treat for DHs birthday. Thought it was excellent, needed to go for a wee but there was no single point in the film where I did not want to know what happened next, so I managed to wait. Excellent cinematography and such a wonderful script and acting.

[StarbucksSmarterSister]

Amazing! I was exhausted by the end Very emotional too.

[mrsjg]

Me and DH saw this today. Wow, what a film - amazing. You are on alert all the time. Really clever how it's shot and hope it cleans up at the awards.

[Whitney168]

Saw it tonight - Stunning film!

[daisychain01]

Went to see it this evening. Speechless, it was the best film I've seen for years, because it was just about as true to the actual reality as you could have. I hope the actors and Director Sam Mendes get well deserved recognition.

Interesting credit at the end to Sam's grandfather who had told him stories about WW1 which Sam wove into the 1917 story.

[LoveNote]

It was good

All those young men. Gets me every time. Ds was with me, he’s 17 and wants to follow his dads footsteps (and grandad who was a prisoner of war) into the army

He wouldn’t have got past the first dead horse! They were all so so young. Our cinema was silent also

[cathyandclare]

Fantastic film. Beautifully shot and directed, but mostly made by the performances of the two main characters- subtle, moving and believable.

It was so tense and compelling, there was no down time to escape to the loo. I had to sprint out at the end!

I've only seen two films this year, this and Little Women, and they've the been incredible. Saw a preview of another film with George McKay ( True History of the Kelly Gang) and he was fabulous in that too. I think he's going to go far- although I suppose he already has!

[cathyandclare]

both been incredible

[rosegoldwatcher]

We saw it tonight. The best film by far that I have seen since Black 47. The score was wonderful and I wasn't surprised to see that Thomas Newman composed it.
Think I must attempt to see all of those films shortlisted for the Best Picture Oscar this year...
