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.

Great vehicle for a good actor. However, it's revisionist study that's low on thrills.
