The Little Hours (2017) - In the Middle Ages, a young servant fleeing from his master takes refuge at a convent full of emotionally unstable nuns. Introduced as a deaf mute man, he must fight to hold his cover as the nuns try to resist temptation.

Goofy comedies like this are generally not my thing, but the cast featuring Alison Brie and Aubrey Plaza and the ribald script involving nuns sold me. 6/10

Dunkirk : 3/10.

Very disappointing. Lack of accuracy. Nolan skipped a lot of historical details that should be in the movie. For example we only see few planes. But many were engaged on an air battle. The beach is too clean. We should have seen abandoned military equipment on the beach. And we don't hear about Dunkirk's harbour where most of the british troops were evacuated from...

I was about to say I just read a story about soldier that was on the beach and left the theater in tears due to the accuracy of the film and it bringing back memories he hadn't delt with in decades.

That story alone made me want to see the film.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

No. I wanted to see authenticity.
When you're doing a movie about historical facts, you need to be accurate on the facts.

We should have seen many boats : more destroyers than shown on the screen.
We should have seen military vehicles on the beach as it was the case.
We should have seen an air battle as it was the case with many planes involved : Messerschmitts, Stukas, Heinkels, Hurricanes, Spitfires. We only see 3 Spitfires, two Heinkels. And we barely see two Stukas...
And it seems there were no Messerschmitts int he movie but Bucchons instead...
Heinkels are bombing boats... but it's not the best plane to reach the target. We should see Stukas instead who can bomb a target within 3 meters.
In the movie at the beginning, the british soldiers are fired by german soldiers. But at that time they're were outside Dunkirk due to the french army resistance.
And we see post 1950 buildings, mobile harbour crane that didn't exist prior to 1950.

Just thinking the people behind the movie didn't do the job correctly with 200 millions dollars...
The movie lacks CGI effects to give more authenticity and accuracy.
For me it's Nolan worst movie

Just take a look at the Atonement and you see what Dunkirk's beaches should look like during a great sequence shot.

Some memories fade away.

I didn't hear the same from old french soldiers who also were evacuated.
