Watched it last night.
I found it both gripping and annoying.
Gripping in the sense that it captures the sense of helplessness perfectly but annoying that it didn't really explore the disastrous actions of the War Office enough for me.
My grandfather would shudder at the mention of Dunkirk. He wasn't there (I don't think) but had a vehement dislike for British Commanders after his experiences in North Africa and Italy.
Dunkirk should've been about the politicians and military leaders that hung 400K British and French soldiers out to dry and the civilians that saved them.
I remember this every-time I buy a poppy.
