I wish he had gone with linear storytelling instead of that jumping around stuff... Was really distracting.

I have to agree. I don't mind movies that aren't linear but I really don't think it worked at all in Dunkirk.

It honestly felt like 3 separate short films pinched together. Which detracts from the drama.

Suspense was wasn't there for such a dramatic and historic event...urgency and desperation, fear, potential catastrophic failure - I mean Churchill feared this would be the end of the War before it really started - wasn't really felt on screen. It felt tame and isolated. And the jumping between the stories just exacerbated that lack of drama or lack of desperation.
