Yes Brendan Gleeson & Janet McTeer are very good as Winston & Clementine Churchill.
I just do not see why this HBO film got so many award nominations. I am wondering is this the same Winston that inspired us during World War 2. I was young teen ager then, I do not think the man I remember had such a low esteem & low opinion of himself. thinking back the Churchill I remember was a vibrant dominant man & when he spoke we ALL paid attention.
I did not get the same impression watching this movie.
For those who do not know about this period in history, the movie will be interesting.
I am doubtful on the historical accuracy. It is well acted & made, for a HBO movie.
Ratings: *** (out of 4) 83 points (out of 100) IMDb 7 (out of 10)
