Very entertaining

Because Black Panther was sold out I've actually seen Darkest Hour twice. Unlike some films where you see a whole new layer when watching a film for the second time can't really say that this happened with Darkest Hour.
The story is set in a short timeframe of a few weeks as Churchill takes over as Prime Minister of Britain. Whilst I was aware of a lot of the storylines covered in the film I really didn't realise that they happened in such a short space of time. What I thought took a few months was actually just a few weeks. Obviously the focus of the film is Gary Oldman as Churchill. I can well imagine he was thinking about the oscar potential when he read the script and that seems likely to be awarded soon. It is undoubtedly a fine performance and very watchable from start to finish. Well worth watching.
