The reviews of Dunkirk - the latest film from director Christopher Nolan - have flooded in overnight with many praising the intense WWII thriller as his masterpiece.

Nolan is no stranger to acclaim having earned positive reviews continually from his first hit, 200's neo-noir gem Memento, right through to sci-fi opus Interstellar in 2014.

His credits in between, including magician drama The Prestige, the Dark Knight trilogy and Inception - as well as the low-budgeted debut Following (1999) - are all revered as good films (despite, admittedly, the large sector of individuals who dislike Inception).

Going by the early Dunkirk consensus, Nolan hasn't simply done it again but has outdone himself with: after 40 reviews, the film has a staggering Rotten Tomatoes score of 98% - his highest yet.

You can see the full list, not including Nolan's shorts, below.

Following - 78%

Memento - 92%

Insomnia - 92%

Batman Begins - 84%

The Prestige - 76%

The Dark Knight - 94%

Inception - 86%

The Dark Knight Rises - 87%

Interstellar - 71%

Now, this could be liable to change as more reviews come in, but it's hard to see it dipping below the filmmaker's second placed film, The Dark Knight (2008).
