Standout Aspects

Acting

Insinna and Marcorè bickering like an old married couple in mud.

Production

Trench recreation so claustrophobic you'll want to shower after.

Best for:Solo: Sunday afternoon when you hate yourself just enough.·Streaming: Commit to the 170-minute runtime or don't bother.
Heads up:Disturbing: Gas attacks, shell shock, and corpses used as trench walls.·Emotional: The dog dies. Of course the dog dies. It's WWI.
