We will never surrender

Rating: 8/10 (7 March 2018)

Darkest Hour, a biography movie about Winston Churchill played by Gary Oldman, is certainly worth seeing, just alone for Oldman's performance. He clearly deserves his award for his performance, probably his best performance ever. Don't expect war scenes in this movie because there are just none. It's all the political brainstorming and speeches that involved Winston Churchill and everyone around him. Not much action but in this case it didn't matter because the acting of Oldman was just sublime. And not him alone. I thought the performance of Lily James playing Elizabeth Layton was also worth watching. A movie about a historical man at a crucial point of history with a speech that no-one will ever forget. For the great acting alone the movie deserves a high rating.
