Stunning and gripping

Rating: 9/10 (14 February 2018)

I have just seen Dunkirk (another brilliant film), and Darkest Hour seemed to be a brother movie, that teased out much more of the back story to the evacuation of Dunkirk.
Gary Oldman's performance was stunning. The script tight and witty. The drama was present at all times with respite with Churchill's outrageous behaviour.
Perhaps the only weak spot for me was the Underground train journey to Westminster. It seemed to be too contrived.
A great film that is amust see for any serious cinefile.
