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

you winston you lose some

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.

brexit as fuck

So, was Brian Cox playing Winston Churchill or Albert Finney in this movie?

Brian Cox gives a powerhouse Churchill performance. A film easy to pull apart critically but I enjoyed the simplicity of the drama in this well worn subject. A subject of constant fascination and wonder.

When they are going to make an honest biopic of Churchill?. Just another praising film added to ther roster, shallow. Most of the stuff is too familiar to add anything new to WWII history.

"If you're going to hell, keep going"
- W. Churchill.

"If you're going to hell, keep going"
- W. Churchill.

If you only see one Churchill biopic this year, please make sure it is NOT this one. It concentrates on a very tiny period in history (24 hours before Dunkirk) and despite the fine performances from Brian Cox and Miranda Richardson it is just so dull. Just about managed to stay awake but my first words after it finished were 'Is that it?' Really don't know why they bothered.

Ganz schön langatmig und wenig Spannung. Dafür viele schöne Landschaftsaufnahmen und alte Männer die in selbiger auffällig oft rumstehen und diskutieren. Dazu kommen noch genügend Slow Motion Szenen von Wasser oder Zigarrenrauch.
Brian Cox überzeugt noch mit seinem Schauspiel, alle anderen Darsteller eher nicht. 
Die Anfangsszene war visuell noch sehr schön anzusehen.

Not sure that it was good but I enjoyed it & no one else did so explain me that

Bought this thinking it was the Darkest Hour. Oops. Brian Cox was actually very good in this, but it was rather slow.  Monty looked just like Monty. Shame Miranda Richardson didn’t have a bit more to do, but boy was she good.
