I don't wish to be negative, but I was somewhat disappointed.
Yes Mike we saw a cab 13 there (3/4 front view)
For some perspective, there were 63,879 vehicles, and 20,548 motorcycles lost. I cant recall seeing one Carrier or Vickers Light Tank, or a kilted soldier.
They left behind 2472 Artillery pieces, but managed to get out 322 others, along with 4739 vehicles and 533 motor cycles. Of stores, they took off the beach about 66,000 tons of petrol, ammo and other stores.
Of the dead bodies (not seen) Gort lost 68,111 men. If I recall correctly you could see where the modern beach cleaning machines had left lines in the sand. A simple leaf blower would have dealt to that.
I believe the movie failed because it never gave any impression of the scale.
Yes the troops were beaten, but there was no return fire from the sheep on the beach, when the Stukas came in.
I would say that (in my unqualified opinion) what they focused on, was was reasonably portrayed.
As the director seemed to favour the air war, the RAF put in 4,822 flying hours in 9 days and lost 177 aircraft.
My figures come from Richard Colliers book "The Sands of Dunkirk"

The modern blue train seats and the aluminium window frames at the end were a shocker!
