Audience's reviews:
I was blown away by #1917Film. The single-take filming technique is breathtaking in its execution. It reminded me of a 1st person shooter videogame where the camera itself is a character.

So... #1917Film... it’s less of a movie and more of an experience. Something you can only truly live through once. It’s unrelenting, it’s horrifying, it’s beautiful, it’s magic. They’ve captured true magic through the camera. It needs to be seen on the big screen. A masterpiece! pic.twitter.com/oGf0n4Dr0S

A lot of people have wondered about this - when George MacKay gets knocked down, and bumps into people in this scene.... that was not planned!

Sam Mendes confirmed how he had to mute out a lot of loud swearing from this scene, every time someone bumped into MacKay. #1917Film pic.twitter.com/Ake587zftf
#1917Film is worth the price of a ticket for this scene alone

#1917Film delivers on the most soul reverberating scene of not just 2019, but of any film I’ve ever seen. Words cannot possibly prepare you for its tranquility. Locked everybody in my screening up, following with a series of silent weeps. People forgot they were watching a movie. pic.twitter.com/jCAWtyWNh5
