George MacKay as Will on the battlefield in 1917 (2019)
The Big Picture 2019 was a storied year for film. The last year before the pandemic, the year felt like a capstone for the medium in many ways. Not only did franchises like the golden age run of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Avengers: Endgame and the Skywalker Star Wars saga conclude, but the most celebrated filmmakers, including Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino, crafted poetic reflections of bygone eras in The Irishman and Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood.
Release Date December 25, 2019 Director Sam Mendes Cast Andrew Scott , Richard Madden , Benedict Cumberbatch , Mark Strong , Colin Firth , Teresa Mahoney Runtime 110 '1917's Extended Single-Take Was an Impressive Demonstration of Technical Craft Before Parasite shocked the world, 1917 arrived at the 2019-2020 awards season as the prohibitive favorite at the Oscars.
