The verdict is in: Dunkirk is going to be epic.
The first reviews are in for the summer blockbuster, partly filmed in and around Weymouth.
The Christopher Nolan epic has been shown to a select bunch of film critics ahead of the release to the general public on July 21.

Here’s what they had to say:
If your big #Dunkirk question is "So is Harry Styles any good?", I have the answer: he's good. Acquits himself admirably. Points for Styles. pic.twitter.com/96dkWxIWUA

Worth saying that #Dunkirk is a truly Nolanesque, cold film. It's not drum-banging patriotic propaganda, it's bleak, coarse and unrelenting. pic.twitter.com/lkEoiPcNmq

DUNKIRK: intense! 3 intercutting stories on 3 time frames. Almost a silent film, w/ incredible score. May be divisive. I LOVED. See 70mm! pic.twitter.com/E6Xga21Skm

Saw Dunkirk first thing this morning. Still recovering. It's Inception meets The Longest Day.

DUNKIRK is fantastic. Truly thrilling from first to last second. A heartbreaking, heart-pounding, nail-biting offering. Nolan fans, rejoice.

And for those asking: Harry Styles does well in DUNKIRK, was pleasantly surprised.
