We thought it was very good. I had read reviews that said the musical score was much too loud, but I did not find that to be true. I don't think the director captured the scale or duration of the evacuation. With nearly 500,000 trapped people the beaches would have been mobbed, but it wasn't portrayed that way. I think anyone not familiar with the event would assume, from the movie, that the evacuation was over in a day when it actually took over a week. However, these are minor points and the film did capture the desperation of the troops and the heroism of those who sailed to Dunkirk to rescue them.<br /> <br />We attended a matinee (at Emerald Isle, NC) and the theater was pretty full. We were surprised at how many people attended on a decent beach day. I was also surprised at how many young people attended. I think they received a solid lesson in history.Hawk1776noreply@blogger.com
