Two and a half hours of Nolan attempting to inflict PTSD on me. Pass. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 02/08/2017 05:28:54 AM

I have never understood the interest people have with experiencing low-level psychological trauma for entertainment. I don't mean that in a snarky, judgmental way. I mean it quite literally. I do not enjoy horror films, realistic action films, or psychological thrillers at all.

Everything I've seen indicates that DUNKIRK is one of the best portrayals of the unremitting horrors of war to date, which means that I'm staying far, far away.
