2 happy hours watching this

Rating: 8/10 (28 January 2018)

Darkest Hour is a very well made film with an outstanding performance from Gary Oldman. The rest of the cast shine as well. Another nice thing about the film is that it feels quite light despite the very serious topic. Winston Churchill's remarks and jokes will make you laugh and his speeches will give you goosebumps. He practically had the weight of the world on his shoulders and felt pressures from all sides. Nevertheless, he made the right choice in the end and it is horrifying to even think what would have happened with Europe if peace negotiations would take place. If you are well familiar with the history of this man, you will enjoy this for sure and if you are not, you will enjoy it as well and at the same time learn about this great man.
