Sam Mendes’ '1917', a grueling and reverential depiction of one run across no-man’s-land in World War I, is both a vivid re-creation of a time and a film that could only have been made now.

Almost everything you’ve ever seen in a war film is here. But never quite like this.

It’s a staggering technical achievement, one that will see Roger Deakins retaining his unofficial Greatest Living Cinematographer crown.
