Churchill takes over a failing Government as Germany rages war on Europe.
It's a fascinating piece of history, there are countless films about world war two, but this focuses on the story from Churchill's point of view, how he came to power, and the obstacles he had in his way.
An incredible production, the visuals are staggering, I remember being blown away at the cinema, years later it's still as impressive.
It's a powerhouse performance from Gary Oldman, I believe he studied Churchill for quite some time, he is captivating from start to end here, he's always immensely watchable, here though, even by his standards, this was dazzling, the mannerisms, the eyes, the irascibility, it's perfect.
Kristin Scott Thomas, Lily James and Samuel West are all terrific in their respective roles, the acting throughout is first rate, plenty of well known faces for you to recognise.
It's one of those films I never get bored of watching.
A classic, 10/10.
