It did some stuff very well. The aerial combat and the destroyer sinking come to mind.
But the movie's insistence on not using special effects, which I do love, also kills it in a few areas. Like the beach scenes, they really needed more extras if they weren't going to use CGI. There's supposed to be 400 000 men on the beach, but in the movie it looks like maybe 300. Or the scenes in town at the start of the movie. Dunkirk would have been absolutely leveled by this point, but since they insisted on filming in the actual town and not on a built set or with CGI, it looks ridiculous.
Spoiler!

Doesn't make it a bad movie but definitley keeps it out of perfect status, for me at least
