The TVI Take

Christopher Nolan's non-linear account of the 1940 Dunkirk evacuation from three temporal perspectives. Exceptional craft and educational about a defining WWII moment.

The sound design and practical effects represent the pinnacle of immersive war filmmaking. The three timelines converge in one of Nolan's most formally controlled endings.
