Review of Darkest Hour (2017) by Iras — 26 Nov 2017
"Darkest Hour" is excellently written, cast, and acted.
It depicts the desparate "behind the scenes" British parliamentary activity as the Germany was defeating the UK and France during what became known as the Battle of France or the Fall of France in May/June 1940. "Darkest Hour" concentrates on Winston Churchill's actions leading up to Operation Dynamo - the evacuation of British soldiers (and the soldiers of other Allies as well) and the British and French armies were crumbling before the German onslaught. I recommend reading these Wikipedia entries before watching "Darkest Hour":
