Did I watch the same Dunkirk as everyone else? I'm not sure why they chose to make 3/400k people look like a few hundred stragglers? Acre upon acre of pristine undisturbed sand? What?

I saw Jojo Rabbit a few days ago which was excellent. Since watching Hunt for the Wilderpeople I have been a fan of Taika Waititi. Very funny but moving as well. Good performances all round especially from Roman Davis.The Gestapo scene with Stephen Merchant is hilarious.

Especially loved his show stealing voice acting performance as the big rock dude in one of the various Marvel films... Thor:Something Or Other?Watched 'Knives Out' tonight. Nice gentle comedy. Decent ensemble cast - who I get the feeling had fun making the film and playing up their characters, but not to the point of having too much fun and the film ending up a self-congratulatory steaming pile of Perfect film for a relaxing evening, when seeing off the ass end (hopefully) of a nasty little head cold.
Regarding JoJo Rabbit it's a bit of a tough one to discuss. .... I'm wondering if I had heard the reviews you mention whether I would have enjoyed the film so much, or even at all? Or if my viewing experience would have been prejudiced by the reviewers perspective?
Hadn't even heard of 'Look Whos Back' (ps your link is missing the final bracket). From a skim of the Wiki post it does sound like an interesting commentary. I'll add it to a very long list of films 'to watch' that I keep and hope not to end up on any MI5 neo-nazi watch lists from my recent search history etc
Although finding out that many of the scenes are unscripted interactions with real Germans made me thoroughly depressed.
Look who’s back was one of the standout films for me last year.
