Except for when he uses it and you can't tell, like for Armie Hammer and the Winklevoss twins.

But then in that same film he can't do cold breath for shit.

Sure but that's like one of the very few moments CG feels justified. It didn't look indistinguishable though, but it's a tricky thing to pull off.
Overall I'm really not fond of Fincher's use of CGI. Like the CG breath, or all those tiny things in Gone Girl. Sure most of the CG work in his films is so minimal that you won't notice at first. However I think just as with big spectacle CG, which wows at first and won't age well in most cases, the same can be said for the smallest uses. Think of a floating pen in Gravity, it looks fake now. Things like that. (yes I know Gravity isn't from Fincher but you get the point)

I immediately noticed something in Dunkirk that looked CGI to me: But I may also be very wrong lol

I only had one 'oo that's CGI moment' (and together with me some other friends);

You do realize they actually filmed all of that lol?

Edit:

Yes, I posted multiple photos from that shoot. What I was trying to say is that nowadays with all the shitty CGI we are seeing some real life shots turn out for some reason like weird CGI-looking shots.

The shots involving the mirrors of the planes are very clearly CGI for obvious reasons. These two plane shots are CGI as well as all the smoke that comes from all the planes as they get damaged throughout the movie. The beach shots specifically from this angle look heavily CGI'ed but I wonder why. Possibly overlaying those weather effects and the soldiers or removing modern items from the shot, et cetera, resulted in the shots eventually becoming this bad looking. They could have also been lazy or wanted to add it in after they already finished filming. (The poor quality is due to it being a screenshot of a low resolution TV spot.) There's a shot where a soldier is burning in the movie and either he or the fire looks really shittily superimposed too but the specific shot is not in the trailers. Overall, Dunkirk has some of the hardest to detect CGI out of Nolan's blockbusters.

@Pioneerr, were you also talking about this shot? Quality is crappy because of TV spot quality.
Sorry I couldn't actually embed the picture in the post because I wasn't able to copy the .jpg link on my phone

Fixed it for you.
