Never Knew Churchill was a Borderline Dimwit

Rating: 2/10 (8 March 2018)

You need only watch 30 minutes of this movie before you can be assured Churchill was incompetent in all things prior to his WWII role as PM, and then only bright enough to barely get by. He struggles to put together complete sentences at times and has the respect of very few. It takes his wife to rally him out of bed and tell him how to act to his transition to PM. Wow, what a terrible portrayal. Yes, he had his flaws but exhibited a greater strength of purpose and character in real life. In trying to humanize him this movie has downplayed his enormous contribution and his example of what it really takes to stand up to tyranny. Of course the weight of historical evidence forces the director to eventually portray him in a more favorable light. This movie lacked anything compelling and was the equivalence of an average to mediocre History Channel presentation.
