Embargo just lifted. Will update as more come in.

#Dunkirk is chaotic, relentless, thrilling & one of the most captivating movies you will see this year. A master class in craft. What a ride

30 seconds in, Nolan once again delivers a spectacular edge-of-your-seat opening sequence. And then it just keeps upping the tension

From direction to editing to cinematography to score, w/ #Dunkirk Christopher Nolan proves he is one of the great filmmakers of our time

The thing about this film is it very consciously veers away from character development. It's very in-the-moment kinda filmmaking

I liked that, tho. In this situation, soldiers & rescuers were all thrown together. No one really knew anyone. It was all about survival

So don't expect some 20-min monologue about some girl some dude has back home. No time for that. It's all go! go! go! Now RUN!

Dunkirk is edge of your seat filmmaking that’s fully realized in @IMAX. Can honestly say I’ve never seen anything like it. See this in IMAX!

A lot of people were wondering about @harry_styles & unknown cast. They’re all great but Dunkirk is not about any one solider.

Also ‘Dunkirk’ is another brilliant collaboration between Nolan & @HansZimmer. The way he mixes in a ticking clock with score is nail biting

DUNKIRK is 1 of the most immersive cinematic experiences I've ever had.

Mind-blowing non-linear storytelling.

See 70mm IMAX film if u can.

Around 75% of DUNKIRK was shot on IMAX film. Other scenes shot on glorious 65mm film.

Zimmer's score is the leading character of the film.

Dunkirk is an incredible war film, an incredible Christopher Nolan film, and an experience I haven't stopped reliving since I saw it.

Can't stress enough: this is a film that ruins other films. Make it worthwhile and see it on 70mm. IMAX if *remotely* possible.

#Dunkirk packs a wallop but VERY different Nolan movie. Def see on IMAX. Tom Hardy has 10 lines & is amazing. Harry Styles can act people!!!

DUNKIRK is a goddamn spectacle. a monumental movie that hits you on a personal level. nolan beautifully depicts the tragedy of no escape

https://twitter.com/kalyncorrigan/status/884465565309349888

FWIW I thought DUNKIRK was heads above most everything else this year. Pure, maximum cinema. All sea and sky and Rylance.

DUNKIRK is fantastic. Truly thrilling from first to last second. A heartbreaking, heart-pounding, nail-biting offering. Nolan fans, rejoice.

DUNKIRK relies on v little dialogue, but is entirely impactful. We all know what happened on that beach, but Nolan's take is worth visiting.

Yes, DUNKIRK relies heavily on sound of an increasingly fast ticking clock to build suspense. It may be a cheap trick, but it's effective AF

Christopher Nolan's #Dunkirk is a rousing return to form -- thrilling, brutal, and formally adventurous. Full review on @ThePlaylist soon

https://twitter.com/DrewTailored/status/884464412286828544

Can't wait to review "Dunkirk,' a mix of modern storytelling (interwoven timeframes), classic filmmaking (real Spitfire dogfights) #Dunkirk

https://twitter.com/StephenWhitty/status/884459037554872321

Dunkirk is thrilling, beautiful & a must in 70mm IMAX - but it's also hard to ignore that it has zero distinctive personalities/characters.

https://twitter.com/eeisenberg/status/884457284373315584

DUNKIRK: intense! 3 intercutting stories on 3 time frames. Almost a silent film, w/ incredible score. May be divisive. I LOVED. See 70mm!

https://twitter.com/aliciamalone/status/884458459827245057

I have seen #Dunkirk and it is a triumph: beautifully filmed, deeply moving, strong turns all round (and yes, that includes Harry Styles)

I think #Dunkirk also proves how terrific Christopher Nolan is at directing actors - dialogue delivery is all the better for its subtlety

https://twitter.com/annasmithjourno/status/884457230602559488

#DunkirkMovie is great. Beautiful, heart-pounding action sequences, a killer score, solid acting talent & handsome. A great history lesson

https://twitter.com/karawarner/status/884457415596363776

I'll say this about #Dunkirk: watch it in the biggest, loudest, IMAXiest cinema possible. Like an IMAX, say.

If your big #Dunkirk question is "So is Harry Styles any good?", I have the answer: he's good. Acquits himself admirably. Points for Styles.

Also, #Dunkirk is a war film, but not like one I've ever seen before. It's the closest I could imagine to being there. It's loud and brutal.

Worth saying that #Dunkirk is a truly Nolanesque, cold film. It's not drum-banging patriotic propaganda, it's bleak, coarse and unrelenting.

https://twitter.com/AliPlumb/status/884469239675052032

Saw Dunkirk first thing this morning. Still recovering. It's Inception meets The Longest Day.

https://twitter.com/NickdeSemlyen/status/884480326483009536

We've seen DUNKIRK. It's extraordinary - a harrowing, unusual war film, without heros or easy story notes. Staggering pics. Unnerving score.

https://twitter.com/TimeOutFilm/status/884471602947272704

I saw #Dunkirk, and it's a triumph for all involved. Relentlessly tense and superbly crafted, it feels like an instant classic.

And that 70mm IMAX print? Insane. So immersive, makes 3D looks like a cheap parlour trick. See #Dunkirk large and loud.

https://twitter.com/TomButler/status/884483275418468352

DUNKIRK: The suspense never lets up. Little dialogue and relies heavily on Zimmer's score and motif featuring a ticking watch but it works.

https://twitter.com/bexlewis361/status/884494562399588353

.@dunkirkmovie is one of the best films of any year. An edge-of-the-seat thriller and a technical masterpiece. Best use of IMAX I've seen.

https://twitter.com/markhdaniell/status/884531403005800448

#Dunkirk is Saving-Private-Ryan-Normandy-landing-intense for 106 straight minutes. It's monumental filmmaking in every respect.

Once I learned it was under two hours, I knew it was going to end up being one of Nolan's best movies.

 

[Nobility]

In Nolan we trust.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Is it still true about the minimal words spoken in this film?

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

I have very little interest in the film but hey, it's Nolan, so I'll watch it no matter what. The runtime has me intrigued, as strange as that might sound. Happy to hear that Frosty loved it but that man loves everything.

 

[taybul]

Once I learned it was under two hours, I knew it was going to end up being one of Nolan's best movies.

[Toa TAK]

[Spyder_Monkey]

Wait Nolan made a good movie? It's been too long.

 

[taybul]

It's not really a "war" movie per se.

I've stayed away from previews and synopses for the most part so yeah.

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

Guys, I watched the trailer in IMAX.
I loved it.

 

[The Elite]

Once I learned it was under two hours, I knew it was going to end up being one of Nolan's best movies.

He will slap you with his scarf.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Lord and savior NOLAN does it again.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

I have my IMAX tickets good to go. The wife and I are set.

 

[TheGreatDirector]

Definitely a way different film for Nolan than the normal. My interest has been growing since that last trailer.

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

[Head of Vengarl]

Oh man, now I'm really stoked. This is by far my most anticipated film of the year. Haven't seen a good war movie in too long.

 

[Htown]

I imagine it'll be a completely thrilling and heart-pounding first watch, and then two days later I'll be like, "wait, that part doesn't really hold up if you think about it at all."

You know, like every other Nolan movie.

Still, love his movies. Will definitely give this one a watch.

 

[Regginator]

Son of a bitch, he does it again.

 

[Citizen_Insane]

107 minutes, baybee.

Nolan leveled up and learned Brevity!
