Joe Wright was apparently so impressed by Sir David Lean's epic work that he screened most of it before making this movie, and then instructed Cinematographer Seamus McGarvey also to watch Lean's oeuvre, with the hope of being able to match some of Lean's power. Lean's widow Sandra Lean, however, felt she "just didn't like the movie. I thought it was terrible and badly directed. Everyone goes on about the long shot of the beach at Dunkirk, but I thought it was boring and laborious. Obviously, they were trying to get the feel of a David Lean epic, but they failed. Without David, it's not so easy."
