Fantastic performance, great movie

Rating: 9/10 (9 April 2019)

Gary Oldman is dead on and the movie inspiring. At least for those that can imagine that WWII was not a done deal it appears to have been in retrospect.
Much of the movie is historically accurate, with of course the alway-present need to create characters. That's not a hard thing to do with Churchill, who was one of the, if not the greatest personality of the first half of the century.
My only, and very mild complaint, is the impression the movie gives that it was the civilian fleet that saved the troops at Dunkirk. While a number of civilian vessels were used, most were manned by naval personnel, and the majority of the troops were rescued but the Navy itself.
Aside from that, great stuff. Best movie I've seen in a while and again, Oldman is fantastic as usual. I'd never have known it was him if not for the credits.
