1917
December 26, 2020  | By David Bianculli

Showtime, 8:00 p.m. ET

 
Films about our two official world wars are competing for attention tonight in the exact same time slot. On Showtime, you can watch the breathtakingly photographed and meticulously planned WWI drama 1917, which tells of two soldiers who traverse dangerous front-line territory in order to deliver a crucial message to cancel a planned frontal assault. Filmed from a continuous, real-time, ostensibly single-camera perspective, 1917 is as immediate and visceral a viewing experience as the opening of Saving Private Ryan. Don’t miss it.
