London DUNKIRK World Premiere – Prince Harry, Harry Styles, Christopher Nolan Walk Red Carpet

Critics and filmmakers have been praising the upcoming film DUNKIRK. Read Indiewire’s look at the reactions.

Dunkirk is an all timer. It’s so good it feels like a war movie you’d discover on TCM at 2am. You expect Lee Marvin to show up in it.

A pause in plugging my own movie to say: ‘DUNKIRK’ is a powerful, immersive, intense masterpiece that demands it be seen on the big screen.
