Though I wasn't a big fan of war movies, so it'd be probably hard to please me, I think this was the best war movie I've seen. It was truly an interesting and different portrayal. I thought that it'd be more blockbuster-y, but it's definitely not. It's as minimalistic as a war movie can get. And the storytelling was pretty interesting. I feel like I might missed how all the three stories connect (specially the Cillian Murphy story), so I might have to watch it again to appreciate the film more. I felt a bit cold because I tend to enjoy Nolan films way more and, honestly, I didn't feel the emotional punch of the movie. I was brought to tears in Interstellar, for example, so you can clearly see the difference. And it felt a bit flat at the beginning. Also, I don't get the score at times. It was like... there is nothing happenning right now, and the score seemed to build up to a NOTHING moment XD. 

That happened for all the wrong reasons though, as Interestellar is great until the nonsense emotional crap comes in

Oh, but it wasn't nonsense. I thought it was beautiful and well put together, and I watch that film a dozen times XD. I get why some people felt let down about it, but I truly adore that scene.

The impression I got from the score near-constant presence was that it was supposed to be echoing the danger lurking off screen and the tension of the characters that it could return at any time.

It might be, but I think it was too distracting, too pulsating and way OTT. Maybe because I didn't feel that intensity, so it felt overly exaggerated in my mind.

Oh, I forgot to say, and I'm saying this genuinely, I thought the way the Nazis were protrayed in this movie were genius.
