★★★★ Spectacular sequences abound, not least an exhilarating PoV rush through the dunes that leaves you breathless. A colossal gladiatorial arena that seems to touch the sky is shot in a mesmerising mix of monochrome and colour that would not have looked out of place in Fritz Lang’s expressionist masterpiece Metropolis. Stunning work from cinematographer Greig Fraser. ~ Radio Times.
