Review of Darkest Hour (2017) by Compi24 — 02 Jan 2018
A classic case of supreme acting and directorial talent committing themselves to and performing circles around a script that only occasionally matches their efforts. Now, don't get me wrong - the script's final act is quite good, and the narrative at hand holds a handful of fascinating historical facts.
But, generally speaking, the narrative elements only feel about half as epic and historic as they should. This still doesn't stop the movie from being eminently watchable, though. Thanks in no small part to the aforementioned, potentially career-defining performances and directorial work from Gary Oldman and Joe Wright, "Darkest Hour" ultimately shakes out to being a rewarding and enjoyable watch.
