Rightfully earns its place as one of the all-time greatest war films and its gripping presentation ensure it won't be forgotten anytime soon. Rating: 9/10
-Jeffrey Lyles, Lyles' Movie Files
That this movie is so simplistic in its approach, and turns out to be so staggering in its emotional power, is a tribute to not only the acting, writing and direction. The cinematography and the music are of equal importance.
David Kaplan, Kaplan vs. Kaplan
This is a tremendous technical achievement and I was just dazzled the whole time.
-Christy Lemire, FilmWeek
Yet the tale unfolds with considerable sensitivity, offering plenty of haunting images while capturing the chaos and fear of trench warfare – especially through the eyes of MacKay, in a genuine breakout performance.
-Brian Lowry, CNN.com
Despite the film's salient features, "1917" feels oddly underwhelming. It might succeed in making viewers as exhausted as the characters, but it lacks the emotional punch this story requires to make it a lasting impact.

I distinctly remember War Horse getting similar accolades, so… Are these the same losers who highly rated TRoS? Film reviewing seems to be a dying art.
That's not to say this isn't a good film, just that you can't trust the opinions of so called reviewers anymore.
