This movie ends with a title card informing the audience who won World War 2.

2017's 'Churchill' joins the club of disastrous and bland Oscar-bait. Shot, written and directed like a BBC television special, full of the embarrassing over-acting, sombre-predictable music cues, and rudimentary direction. A truly torturous viewing experience.

I have to give Brian Cox all the credit for this performance, as he puts his heart & soul into this. Unfortunately I can't say the rest for the movie itself. Just like what I said about "Mr. Holmes", this could've been a TV movie, not a feature film. Nothing too exciting or interesting happens in this story about the paranoia The British Bulldog faced.
Oh and by the way, the good guys won the war. Just in cause you didn't know, according to the film.

Was this movie meant to glorify Churchill. I felt like they made him seem like a whiny wimp. A blundering old man who was losing his wits...and then he does a speech that rallies the young troops...

Brian Cox and Miranda Richardson are just fine... but has war ever felt more remote in a war film? Shot mostly in offices and hallways, Churchill doesn't even have the tension of a rousing boardroom drama. Maybe it's that we know the outcome that we never get too caught up in the fuss, and that's the level this film seems to operate at - fussing - so it makes me wonder if this moment in Churchill's life (this seems less than a chapter's worth) really begged for cinematic treatment. Lovely to hear the speech at the end, nevertheless... but really...

Churchill is directed by Jonathan Teplitzky, who told a markedly different World War II story with The Railway Man. Teplitzky works from a screenplay by British historian Alex von Tunzelmann. Going into Churchill, one knows what to expect: a reverential, respectable historical drama, but one that might be a chore to sit through. While there is an attempt to humanise the titular historical figure, Churchill ends up as a stodgy and inaccessible work. The official synopsis for the film describes it as a “ticking-clock thriller”, but despite the incredibly high stakes in play, Churchill lacks urgency or momentum. As a result, the audience feels like they’re watching events unfold from a distance, rather than engaging with them.
Many great actors…

So much talk and then today we are still at war against everything and everyone. But propaganda forbids revealing it.

Yeah - good speech at the end and all, this movie manages to focus on a short period of time that makes one of the greatest ever Britons look like an nervous has-been, who is basically arguing all movie against D-Day because he thinks it will be a disaster, and then is proved wrong (spoiler alert - D-Day was a success).
