Watched it the other day, my take


Good film overall; quite effective in many scenes; well enough acted by the 2 leads. The effects were great and the cinematography was impressive.

I think the 'one long take' was a bit unnecessary for this film. It worked very well for individual scenes (such as the trip across no man's land and through the deserted enemy trench) but it did not need to be nearly the whole film which made it feel distracting. There is also a few impossibilities such as the german pilot crashing right next to them or the woman and the abandoned baby in the destroyed town.
