The 42-year-old director, who hails from Wellington, New Zealand, has built a career on stories of outsiders told with an offbeat sense of humor, and his goofy, affectionate sensibility promised a shot in the arm for the Thor franchise — especially important after the poorly reviewed 2013 installment Thor: The Dark World.

It was something of a shock to learn that the supposedly dignified independent counsel — who was once on a shortlist for the Supreme Court — had delivered a 445-page bodice ripper, a trite story of an office affair in all its seamy particulars, told with such sanctimony that it was redolent of Nathaniel Hawthorne.

Instead of being the latest installment in Hollywood's long-running obsession with war flicks, 1917 is a compelling human drama about the horrors of battle told with such technical and artistic mastery that it's not just one of the best movies of 2019—it may go down as Mendes' and cinematographer Roger Deakins' shared masterwork.
