Review of Darkest Hour (2017) by Netflic — 22 Jan 2018
This is a docu-drama that depicts end of May in 1940 when most of Europe fell to Nazi Germany, and Winston Churchill became GB's PM.
The moment in history was one the the most grave that GB had endured. Yet film's authors invented several fictional episodes that never happened to make it look even more dramatic.
I do not want to spoil it for you but the movie should not be taken as "this is how it happened in 1940", only to some degree. Gary Oldman playing Winston Churchill deserves Oscar nomination.
Director Joe Wright made the whole film a bit too stagy and theatrical for my taste.
Overall, the movie is interesting to watch, especially for people who know little about that time in history, particularly in history of WWII.
