Blockbuster! Gary Oldman is dynamic.

Rating: 9/10 (7 April 2018)

The world is at war and the focus of this historical drama is Winston Churchill's rousing determination to deny the heated threats of Adolph Hitler. Churchill, not exactly the most popular figure in British politics, is a Prime Minister with very little backing and no faith from his peers. But he is fearless in his refusal to lay down and hand over Britain to Hitler and his ruthless army during the early days of World War II.
Gary Oldman is Oscar worthy in his faultless role as Churchill. And very commendable is Lily James as Churchill's faithful private secretary. Also under the direction of Joe Wright are Ben Mendelson, Ronald Pickup, Samuel West, Kristin Scott Thomas, Stephen Dillane, Michael Gould and Nicolas Jones.
Actually, a one-man show belonging to Oldman.
