Gary Oldman reminds us to never give up

Rating: 7/10 (16 June 2018)

Darkest Hour is a character drama that focuses on a specific moment in British history; it inadvertently serves as the political companion piece to the film Dunkirk which was released the same year. While decently directed, the film's true laurels lie on the head of its lead actor, who completes his transformation into Winston Churchill with commendable realism.
