Gut wrenching, but necessary point of view
This movie has spotless photography and brilliant editing and score. The art direction should be praised for the amazing work. The costume design is simply spot on and that really helps with immersion.
Ok, that's enough with the technical stuff, about the story:
There is a very clear layer of criticism on the impunity of the higher ranks of the military and this movie does get that point across in an agonizing manner, wich makes you feel the anguish and the loss that is being conveyed.
You are literally on the edge of your seat at every second wishing those people on the screen don't get killed because you really want to see them happy with their families, even though they are fictional characters and have absolutely nothing to do with you.
Anyways, when a movie makes you feel something, good or bad, you know it's done something right.
The ending simply made me want to punch the screen and cry myself to sleep thanking God for how lucky I am.

Power we've seen before
Well made & shows the horrors of WWI. A unique perspective that has been overlooked. Brutal & dirty with an awesome score & establishing shots, but it doesn't stand out in this genre.
