ThiefHott Too much of everything
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Benedito Dias Rodrigues When l've been about to take this movie l realize that Gary Oldman was Churchill, i'm affraid to face how it could be,but the advanced technichs of make up is really remarkable,overcame this hurdle Oldman shines as never,stunning performance, the highlights don't stop here,also has a surprise,the movie covered five early hard weeks after Winston take over the charge of Prime Minister,a wised screemplay proven that they were get the target and somehow explain the title,of course the picture has a nationalism approach,have several Winston's facets disguised here but under light of lucidness,but no one could deny Winston's legacy,if the Britain was made a peace agreement certainly today the history changes for good!!!Resume:First watch: 2018 / How many: 1 / Source: Blu-ray / Rating: 9.25
Tejas Nair There's a scene in director Joe Wright's Darkest Hour where Winston Churchill (Gary Oldman) travels by the tube and mingles with the citizens of his country. As he walks into the Underground, it feels like any other peculiar scene from the film, but then he finds himself inside a tube car with people around him, standing awestruck and in adoration and respect. I was sitting here in my chair with the same feeling as Oldman's Churchill begins talking while his team is discussing an important treaty in other part of the city. There is no doubt that Darkest Hour is an intelligent drama made with enough doses of humor, politics, and embellishments that usually make up a World War II film, but what works for it is the perfect coagulation of all the ingredients. Watching Darkest Hour is like drinking a gallon of water in the middle of a night. The pleasure that you derive from it - be it from Oldman's terrifically nuanced performance or Dario Marianelli's exhilarating score - will have at least a full-day effect on you. It is a 'slice of history' film made in a way to appease its audience, and I, for one, am thoroughly impressed. It's an energetic affair that will make you get up from your chair, rush to the street, and dance like you have just won a war. TN.
martinjkristiansen I'll give it 10 due to Gary Oldman and his astonishing acting as Winston Churchill. No one would be able to do this except Gary Oldman. He is remarkable in this movie. Great history and a amazing story full with great performance from all actors.
jasonam Darkest Hour is a character drama that focuses on a specific moment in British history; it inadvertently serves as the political companion piece to the film Dunkirk which was released the same year. While decently directed, the film's true laurels lie on the head of its lead actor, who completes his transformation into Winston Churchill with commendable realism.
