I hope it is as good as "critics" claim it is. So far, the reviews have been pretty much standard.

Let's just wait till Film Comment, Sight and Sound and Reverse Shot publish their reviews. There are only 3 real critics, huh?

The question is.. What socially conscious drama is going to beat this well received tech juggernaught (and possible director winner)??? See 12 Years a Slave, Spotlight and Moonlight? Let's see what happens at Toronto. The Papers will have the disadvantage of skipping the fall festivals, but it checks every box. I'm sticking to that for BP and Nolan for Director for the time being.

I feel in order for Spielberg to win again it will have to be an event on the scale of Schindler's List or SPR. I think if something takes over it will be something we barely know about before Toronto.

If the fake CompuServe review is the only negative review when all is said and done I'm gonna be triggered.

Can you imagine the IMDb user score for this?

Can you imagine the IMDb user score for this? 9.6 as of right now. It opened at 9.8 but trolls brought it down.

I mean I wouldn't fully agree with that dude but there are very few critics of worth.

There are far more better critics than the ones who have reviewed Dunkirk. All I've read is that it is spectacular,immersive, emotional but there isn't much substance to their reviews and I hope further reviews have an in-depth discussion of the film.

I don't think a nomination will come out of it, but I'm glad to hear praise towards Rylance's way.

Somewhere, Dawn Assayas is seething.
It sucks I can't see it the way I want to, though. I'm seeing it in 70mm, but not IMAX. My local IMAX is showing it, but not in 70mm. Looking forward to it regardless.

So you don't like critics who use adjectives? Also you are acting like we should care about what sites you like and wait for them.

Let's see what happens at Toronto. After La La Land last year (A film 99.9% predicted to win BP) I'm done calling anything locked to win BP.

No chance of an acting nom here. Praise has been given out to several cast members but not the type of praise that could warrant any serious traction.

Before we lock in BP, let's wait for those box office numbers. They're important in judging the big movies like this. If it performs spectacularly, it wins. If the movie doesn't perform very well, I'm willing to bet it loses in spite of the praise.

The Papers will have the disadvantage of skipping the fall festivals, but it checks every box. I'm sticking to that for BP and Nolan for Director for the time being. I'm not feeling The Papers. I feel in order for Spielberg to win again it will have to be an event on the scale of Schindler's List or SPR. I think if something takes over it will be something we barely know about before Toronto. That's a fair assessment, and the reports of the script being middlebrow do make me cautious, but here's the one reason why I'm sticking to it: none of Spielberg's recent output was as timely and politically urgent as The Papers. Streep and Hanks will be going all over town essentially reprising the former's Cecil B. DeMille speech, and that's gonna get them a lot of support, especially with the older crowd that passed on The Revenant and Mad Max in favor of the safer, more traditional option with the hefty subject matter. I can easily see Dunkirk playing like an amalgamation of Miller and AGI's films, with the flash, critical support and early release date of the former plus the pedigree of the latter. In addition to that 2015 precedent, I think we might also see a repeat of this year, with one release dominating the first batch of awards only to see the buzz being snatched by a late comer. The Papers premiering in late December means it will be peaking right around Oscar voting time, much like how Moonlight surged at the last minute. Dunkirk being a July release could result in it losing momentum and being obfuscated by the shiny new politically relevant toy, and as La La Land tells us, that's a huge factor in a preferential ballot system. We'll see.

Well, I just pre-came because of this hype. Still lowing my expectations, but damn, these reviews are even better than I would imagine. I really think the minimalist screenplay finally helped Nolan (altough not a bad writer, sometimes less is better for his films)

This is winning Best Picture/Director. I know, it's still early, but as of right now, Dunkirk is the best reviewed film of 2017.

I expected it to have good reviews, as most Nolan movies do, but Jesus. My expectations were high enough. From what it sounds like, less is more for Nolan this time around as far as his script goes, and the movie sounds like it pays off. Glad to hear it. Can't wait to see it this weekend!
