Review of Darkest Hour (2017) by Moviemitch96 — 24 Dec 2017
Yes, it is a by-the-numbers biopic, but that's easily forgiven thanks largely in part to the stellar performances, obviously most notably from Gary Oldman's commanding lead performance. I will truly be stunned if he doesn't win the Oscar for this! Even supporting turns from Kristen Scott Thomas and Ben Mendelsohn to name a couple others make the film all the more worthwhile.
Overall, it's definitely a superbly acted and gripping look at Winston Churchill and the events that surrounded him during WWII.
