“Since I always had a weak spot for Sam Mendes’s work and since I kept hearing some really good things about this flick, I was really eager to check it out.

Best Movies of 2019 (67 movies items)" Tremendous cinematic achievement. Incredible cinematography (Deakins), pacing and direction (Mendes) and one of the best acting performances of the year (MacKay). Really nothing negative to say about this... maybe the scene where it goes from dark of night to day time in a matter of minutes. "
