great 2hrs5minute movie

Rating: 10/10 (23 January 2018)

Joe Wright , director of one of my favorite movies Atonement, directed the movie Darkest hour. The movie is about Winston Churchill and his first responsibility after becoming Prime Minister. The movie is directed very well and Gary Oldman as Winston Churchill is terrific. Interactions between Churchill and his young, timid, inexperienced typist Elizabeth Layton (good acting by Lily James) are nicely done. Gentle, loving moments of praise and scolding by wife Clemmie( terrific Kristin Scott Thomas )are directed very well. I enjoyed the movie and how difficult it was for Churchill to make decisions. Gary Oldman's acting is excellent and Oscar worthy. My favorite 2 movies of this year are great to watch on the big screen. And those who don't change their mind about watching bootlegged movies don't change anything.
