I really enjoyed this edit. I've always been a bit on the fence about Dunkirk as it contains lots of great visuals but I don't think it carries the narrative effectively. By mixing the two films you get a much stronger narrative to tie the film together and all the excellent cinematography from Dunkirk.
The editor has done an amazing job tie the two films together and edits are seamless and the narrative flows smoothly. Its true that there is quite a change in style between the two films but I didn't find that to be a problem as the Dunkirk scenes felt like they were secondary to the main story line from Darkest Hour. If anything I thought the film could do with a little less Dunkirk and a little more Darkest Hour as Churchill's story felt a little quick at the end.
In conclusion its a great edit and I think its significantly better than watching the two films individually.
