V.F. critic rilaws calls 1917 a 'staggering piece of filmmaking, admirable both for its complexity and its control.' Read his full review:
avoids that prurient indulgence. We definitely see what this awful war has done to human bodies, the remains of people strewn across the battlefield like all the other debris. But Mendes doesn’t delight in the carnage. He keeps a trained gaze on the bare and terrible fact of the setting rather than veering toward operas, either of gruesomeness or bombastic valor.needn’t exist, really.
In its reasoned scale, at least, Mendes’s film waves few flags of triumph. It’s a movie about stopping something rather than winning it. Which, in careful complement to its prestige war-movie heft, givesa delicate, mournful air of humanity that so many other films of its kind snuff out with grandiosity.is a rattling wonder of form, an audacious undertaking that nonetheless bobbles or cheats on a few occasions. The one major cut in its real-time conceit serves a few plot purposes, I suppose.
