For Churchill lovers

Rating: 7/10 (15 April 2018)

"Darkest Hour" or the film that shows you Churchill's life for two hours. It tells us the story of Winston Churchill between 1940 and 1945, when he was the Prime Minister of Great Britain. you have surely understood it, the story takes place during World War 2. Gary Oldman, the main actor (he plays Churchill, of course) won the Oscar of the best actor for his performance. I think he deserves it, but I also think that he is a bit too much on screen. And that is what makes me dislike (or "less like", you choose) the film. It could have been a 10/10 if it had been a bit more about what happened in France, so there would have been more action. Also, there are some scenes that were very, very, very long. And that is one more penalty on the final mark. Indeed, the film is 2h05 long, but I'm sure it could have fit in 1h50. Well, I told you all the bad things I could tell you about the film, but there are lots of things that are good. As the title of my review says, this is the best film that a Churchill lover can see. But if you're not a fanatic, you will like it all the same. So, enjoy!
