Rating: 10/10 (10 April 2018)

Wow ! Just wow ! This film was fascinating. From the beginning until the end, I couldn't take my eyes away from the screen. Darkest Hour is just astonishing. This film takes place in London during World War II. The Nazis had invaded Belgium and wanted to do the same with the rest of Europe. We are following Winston Churchill, played by Gary Oldman, the Prime Minister of Great-Britain from 1940 to 1945. He succeeded Neville Chamberlain and stood firm against collaborating with the Nazis. The movie is a great summary of all this tense period, when Churchill had to take important decisions. In addition, Gary Oldman's actor's game is astonishing ! It only took me a few minutes before I was fascinated by this man. Throughout his emotions, his sense of humor and his personality traits, I could really imagine how stressful it was to carry the future of one's country ! Supporting roles are also very convicing. I learned so many historical details : this is a must see for everyone. As you can expect, I recommend this movie : It is a great way to understand Winston Churchill and his decisions, or what I like to call it : Winston Chur-Chills !
