The Verdict
1917 is a technically masterful WWI drama centered on two ordinary British soldiers, with no identity messaging to speak of. Its diversity reflects the historical reality of British colonial troops, and its anti-war themes emerge through experience rather than lecturing. Essentially clean across all axes.
