Oh, what a war we fought.

Rating: 10/10 (9 May 2020)

Gary Oldman gives a masterclass of acting, portraying one of Great Britain's greatest leaders.
I think the reviews, (so far) that give low points, are from those who have seen too many movies that dramatise and falsify war, so obviously expected it from this film.
The acting is marvelous, the cinematography excellent, and the script true to the actuality of Churchills pondering and orations of that time. Not one part of the film was overdone, nor was it turned into a blood and guts, flag waving fantasy. The events Britain faced in 1940 are honestly depicted and not one compromise is given away to the sensationalist.
I think this is a great film, but it may take time to be accepted as one of the best war films ever made.
10/10
