Great Film, Great Diplomacy

Rating: 9/10 (11 December 2017)

Many people have complained that this film does not paint the full picture about who Churchill really was, and that it does not include enough commentary about other countries. And to that, I say that is rubbish.
This film is not about Hitler, FDR, the Canadians, or the Belgians and French that were critical in letting the British escape Dunkirk. It is about Churchill. Plain and Simple.
If you enjoy diplomacy, you will love this film. You feel like you are making every decision with Churchill, and that he truly has to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders. Gary Oldman is fantastic, and the secretary is also superbly acted. A little unbelievable in one or two scenes, but its ridiculousness serves to portray Churchill as a ridiculous leader. If you hate Hitler and like Churchill, which is everyone, and you find WWII fascinating, you will like this film
