Review: Dunkirk is an incredible feat of visual storytelling.  I'm sure it was even more of a masterpiece in theaters.  I understand why some people considered it on the slow side, but this was a war movie built on small moments of humanity rather than action and explosions.  This is the type of movie you hold up as an example when you want to talk about well-crafted films.  There was not a weak performance in a cast of award winning veterans, like Kenneth Branagh and Mark Rylance, and promising newcomers, like Fionn Whitehead.  Definitely a must watch.
