Review of Darkest Hour (2017)

By Peter Travers (3,602) for Rolling Stone (4,035) on 22 Nov 2017

Gary Oldman is one of the greatest actors on the planet – and he proves it again as Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour…

Review of Darkest Hour (2017)

By Jordan Hoffman (1,025) for New York Daily News (5,623) on 22 Nov 2017

This is an extremely watchable and enjoyable film, but its compression of historical events does become a tad silly…

Review of Darkest Hour (2017)

By Tony Medley (1,109) for Tolucan Times (639) on 22 Nov 2017

Pure Hollywood Poppycock…

Review of Darkest Hour (2017)

By Robert Levin (797) for amNewYork (559) on 22 Nov 2017

The movie has sweeping cinematic texture, expressed in Wright's affinity for long takes…

Review of Darkest Hour (2017)

By Bob Strauss (787) for Los Angeles Daily News (1,272) on 22 Nov 2017

Too bad that, for all of its political savvy and recently unearthed details, the movie built around this magnificent performance gets corny…

Review of Darkest Hour (2017)

By Nicholas Barber (220) for BBC.com (1,500) on 22 Nov 2017

There is definitely greatness in the way Oldman takes a role that has already been played by so many actors, and makes it utterly his own…

Review of Darkest Hour (2017)

By Alissa Wilkinson (499) for Vox (725) on 22 Nov 2017

Oldman is excellent in the movie, playing a jolly, idiosyncratic, sometimes conflicted version of the British prime minister…

Review of Darkest Hour (2017)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 22 Nov 2017

This is pretty standard-issue Great Man of History psychobabble, and it’s insufficient, though somewhat satisfyingly so. The clichés go down easy…

Review of Darkest Hour (2017)

By Michael Ordoña (350) for Common Sense Media (4,943) on 22 Nov 2017

Mild but talky look at Churchill's early days in power…

Review of Darkest Hour (2017)

By Eric Eisenberg (199) for CinemaBlend.com (1,378) on 22 Nov 2017

An immensely important time period, but [one that] also succeeds in feeling tremendously relevant…

Review of Darkest Hour (2017)

By Matt Singer (625) for ScreenCrush (954) on 22 Nov 2017

As showy as that makeup and voice is, and as big and boisterous as Churchill’s speeches are, Oldman finds nuances that few actors do in this…

Review of Darkest Hour (2017)

By Godfrey Cheshire (178) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 22 Nov 2017

I’ve been trying to think when there was a historical drama I found as electrifying as Joe Wright’s Darkest Hour…

Review of Darkest Hour (2017)

By Sam Adams (514) for Slate (2,081) on 22 Nov 2017

An engaging but safe journey towards a predetermined destination that engages the mind but not the heart…

Review of Darkest Hour (2017)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for NPR (1,713) on 22 Nov 2017

Hidden behind resplendent latex jowls, Gary Oldman plays Churchill as a stout-hearted but deliberative man who's willing to paddle against…

Review of Darkest Hour (2017)

By Tim Appelo (178) for AARP Movies for Grownups (302) on 22 Nov 2017

What distinguishes Darkest Hour is that it's a film based on words: the three famous speeches Britain's prime minister rallied the world with in 1940…

Review of Darkest Hour (2017)

By Noel Murray (1,901) for Uproxx (697) on 21 Nov 2017

Darkest Hour dwells at a very particular point between “exaggerated for dramatic effect” and “how it really was.” The star embraces…

Review of Darkest Hour (2017)

By Jeanne Kaplan (738) for Kaplan vs. Kaplan (1,174) on 21 Nov 2017

Oldman's portrayal of Churchill is that much more forceful and convincing, thus he should be the front-runner come Oscar season for Best Actor…

Review of Darkest Hour (2017)

By Clint Worthington (295) for Consequence of Sound (1,431) on 21 Nov 2017

Darkest Hour spends so much time as an actor’s showcase for Oldman that it oftentimes forgets to remind the audience of the ongoing war around…

Review of Darkest Hour (2017)

By Alan Scherstuhl (679) for Village Voice (8,525) on 21 Nov 2017

Wright’s film is fleet but not especially thoughtful, wholly convincing in its production design, and in one crucial sense something rare…

Review of Darkest Hour (2017)

By David Kaplan (436) for Kaplan vs. Kaplan (1,174) on 21 Nov 2017

Did the world really need yet another version of Winston Churchill's first few days in office…
