Review of Darkest Hour (2017) by Dawdlingpoet — 22 Nov 2021
I liked the (sometimes lavish) settings/surroundings this film is set in. Its quite engrossing, with a very commanding central performance from Gary Oldman as Churchill. As the story develops, Oldman's performance gets better and better. Of course the fact that this is based on a true story made me find it all the more engrossing.
The film is quite tense at times and I thought it made for a very decent period drama. The music used isn't over the top and thus overbearing and the script didn't strike me as cheesy or bland, so I'd recommend it.
