Visually stunning, and Oldman's Churchill is virtually perfect

Rating: 9/10 (22 December 2019)

I was blown away by this film, I thought Gary Oldman's performance as the man often thought of as The Greatest Briton was perfectly envisaged and consummately acted - it took me about a minute and Oldman WAS Churchill. The set decoration immerses the viewer completely in the London of the 1940's and the supporting cast held their own in such exalted company. The only reason I'm not giving this the perfect 10 is for the scene set on the Underground which rung hollow, didn't happen and contained the picture's (mercifully) only instance of it succumbing to the tiresome and omnipresent politically correctness which threatens to mar any film made currently.
