I was tempted to turn it off

Rating: 3/10 (9 May 2020)

I didn't just so I can make sure I never watch this tripe again. It's awful. It's historically inaccurate, mythological and mawkishly triumphalist. The scene with the "little ships" was appalling and again inaccurate. Most of the troops rescued at Dunkirk were evacuated by Royal Navy capital ships not by the "little boats"
The part played by others in the national government are ignored as is the Norway Debate that caused Chamberlain to stand down.
This is whitewash history seen through rose coloured spectacles the way that people wish it was. The acting is mostly fine and Oldman is a good Churchill but as a film it stands with Birth of a Nation for its distortion of history.
