There's next to no historical background, meaning you'll be confused if you don't already know the story of the evacuation.
Kenneth Branagh has seen better days.

That said, this is a movie that needs to be seen in theatre. You know the old cliché about non-stop action? It's true to the letter for Dunkirk. There is no time to breathe. You are there—on the beaches, on the landing grounds and in the streets, on sea, land and air.

But that was a pretty great aspect of the movie afaic since it really made each soldier feel like one in a sea of faceless cogs where it didn't matter which one was which.

Trying to figure out when the plane and boat scenes were going on was kinda sketchy though, but it never bothered me.
