Not Much Wrong, A Lot of Things Right

Rating: 8/10 (18 November 2018)

Normally, I don't love biopics about political figures. I usually expect something slow and boring, as was the case with Lincoln, though it was very well done. But Darkest Hour was truly excellent. I watched this movie out of respect for the subject matter and because of the critical acclaim it received. With my limited attention span, I was pleasantly surprised. I give this movie 10 out of 10 in so many categories, but only 8 out of 10 as an overall rating. It's not my cup of tea, but it's still so great. My only critique is that it's slightly over-styalized. But the director has a very good eye, and I was very impressed with this motion picture.
