Bewertungen und Rezensionen

I have always had a great interest in Winston Churchill. Amazing movie! Can't believe he was played by Gary Oldfield, only because I didn't recognize him. Brilliant performance.

Wow. What a great film. Oldman did a wonderful job as Churchill. A great story, and the production team did a great job with mise en scene, editing, etc. I did want a bit more from the ending, but that's just my opinion. Overall, wonderful film. 4.5 stars.

As usual, Gary Oldman played his role to perfection. Immersing himself into his character of Churchill his role was convincing to the letter. Good work, Gary well deserved the award.
