Movie *** Dunkirk (2017)

Although given rave reviews by critics and audiences, I was disappointed. The best feature was the filming, but again editing and sound were terrible. Overlong sequences of confusing air combat with garbled dialogue (I guess the masks over the pilot’s faces didn’t help). Also, I was interested in how the captains of the civilian flotilla got primed, motivated, and collectively made aware of the precise need and destination of Dunkirk on that day. Don’t look for this story to answer any of those questions.
