1917
Overview
Filmed to look like one unbroken take, Mendes's WWI drama follows two young soldiers racing across no-man's-land to deliver a message that could save 1,600 men. The single-shot trick isn't a gimmick — it traps you in real time with them, and the dread never lets up for a second. Deakins's night sequence lit only by flares is worth the ticket alone. Utterly exhausting in the best possible way.
