I read that criticism, and was surprised by the writer complaining about the lack of black/Asian[Indian Army] representation.
I did a bit of checking;
There were hardly any black soldiers in the BEF in 1940. Were the film makers supposed to have some black actors when the actual percentage of such at Dunkirk would have been minute.
There were no Indian Army forces in the BEF in 1940.
The French did have African regiments at that time and some were evacuated.
The criticism was, of course as you noted, in the Guardian. Say no more
