Whether you watch from the edge of your seat, or behind your hands, it’ll be hard to miss British filmmaker Sam Mendes' note-perfect direction of this urgent, yet sensitive WWI drama. Aided by deservedly Oscar-winning cinematography from the UK’s Roger Deakins and an exquisitely propulsive, perilous and poignant script co-written by Scotland’s Krysty Wilson-Cairns.
