Historical Fiction is not Non-fiction

Rating: 10/10 (13 December 2017)

The most negative reviews posted here seem to center on the fact that this film is not entirely accurate. There are tens of thousands of books and documentary films about WWII and its participants which claim to be entirely historically accurate. Darkest Hour is not one of them. Instead, it is a 125 minute long movie which effectively evokes the drama surrounding one critical month of British history. If critics want a history lesson, perhaps they should visit a library instead of watching movies.
