Gary Oldman at his best! Mesmerizing acting and direction.

Rating: 9/10 (25 February 2019)

Not often that I see an actor in a getup and I find it hard to recognize him at first glare. Here it was evident that Gary Oldman spend 200 hours on makeup, this getup alone was worthy of Academy Award Nomination for best Makeup and Hairstyling. Besides this, the acting of Gary Oldman and the direction of Joe Writght allowed the viewers to view every aspect of Winston Churchill, his in-office and in-house frame of mind.
The historical events were somewhat fictional because I research every event and then map them into reality, so that I don't mix my historical facts. This flaw on its own could have debacled the movie if it had not been the Award-winning performance of Oldman. The power of words was the main captivation of the movie, which enraptured the British Parliament even if they were against it at first.
For those who are interested in historical movies/World War II movies, this is a must-watch movie. They will be mesmerized, inspired and fascinated by acting, direction and screenwriting.
If my take from the movie would be summed in a sentence, it would be, "Even at bad times, a good person with bad reputation can turn the tables around".
