Will you stop interrupting me while I am interrupting you..

Darkest Hour I think that this is probably the first movie to have these number of monologues (after any Woody Allen's movie, I presume) and they are so good and within all thesewill you stop interrupting me while I am interrupting you..

Darkest Hour.

I think that this is probably the first movie to have these number of monologues (after any Woody Allen's movie, I presume) and they are so good and within all these speeches or explanations or discussions, there is a beautiful relation brewing whose innocence and sweetness might probably the highlight of the movie along with of course Gary Oldman's performance. Darkest Hour is as it name suggests; dark on its premise and character driven film which is entirely based on facts which may come off as a bit disappointing since it is low on drama. As mentioned earlier, this is clearly Gary's show and what a show he puts on; from his walk to attitude or behaviour to nature or even how he manages to move as he talks or even argue, Gary lights up Winston Churchill brightly and majestically. Joe's depiction is perfect on screen and there is no doubt but it still needed a better editing considering it is more that 2 hours long. Darkest Hour is raw, brutal and dark on its tone and its completely palpable too and if it had better editing, gripping screenplay and high on drama or entertainment; Joe would have crossed it out of the park.
