Re: Dunkirk
Haven't seen it yet but I heard an interview with Nolan where he talked about wanting to de-emphasize dialogue and focus more on visual storytelling for Dunkirk, which gives me hope for his future as a filmmaker considering the flaws of his last several films.

Dunkirk
8.5/10
Slow to get going, but visually amazing and really really emotionally satisfying if you have the patience for it.
