Don't expect a history lesson

Rating: 6/10 (4 March 2018)

While watching this film, I was glued to the screen. Everything from the opening title screen showing Hitler and his army, Gary Oldman's acting, the speeches, the costumes and setting... were all superb! But then after the film ends, there will be something in your brain that tells you to do some fact checking. There is one scene in particular which I guarantee that you will look up and be extremely disappointed that it never happened. Then after checking that fact, you will soon realize there are many other historical facts that were portrayed wrong in the film.
I had given this film a 9/10 until I did further research. I definitely don't regret watching it, but I was hoping for a more accurate portrayal since this is a "Biography" after all. If anything, this film will get you interested into reading more about Winston Churchill once you realize how inaccurate it is. The only reason to watch this film is for Gary Oldman's acting and the wonderful costume designs/setting.
