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.
NOTE: THIS IS NOT MY REVIEW FOR CHURCHILL. THIS IS GOING TO BE MY REVIEW FOR THE FIRST SEASON OF SUCCESSION. AGAIN, NOT FOR THIS FILM, BUT FOR SUCCESSION (SEASON 1)

Succession (Season 1) was a succession in it's debut.
Strong Debut – Now with the first 2 episodes of this show, I wasn’t really sure this show is gonna be loved by me that much. But as the show went on, I loved it even more. Some build ups with character’s relationship is bringing more fun and humour to the show which makes up for some parts that doesn’t resonate that much for me. The way that this show explores the business managing was also really intriguing. Season…
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.
NOTE: THIS IS NOT A REVIEW FOR CHURCHILL! THIS IS GOING TO BE MY REVIEW FOR THE SECOND SEASON OF SUCCESSION. AGAIN, NOT A REVIEW FOR CHURCHILL, BUT FOR SUCCESSION.

Now I can hear the Emmy Awards screaming a win to Succession. Succession is definitely a big Success for this year.
Big Step-up - WHAT A SECOND SEASON! Succession elevated from it's first season. This season of this show had everything. The humor, drama, sarcasm, family, friendships, business's, relationships, war, and life. This show had exceptional combinations of different issues and genre. They didn't overdo and they were nowhere short significant. The writing were a lot way better than the first season. The acting was superb and we'll be…
Churchill is a bad film. It asks the question "What if The British Bulldog had balls of steel, but was also kinda a mopey pussy?"
I'll give it a one star bump for Brian Cox's great performance with the material he is given and some of the haunting visuals in the first four or five minutes. After that, it's an incredible bland and misguided biopic.
If you're in the mood for a bunch of old posh cunts bickering in stately homes then boy do I have a movie recommendation for you!
Often ranked among the greatest Britons ever to have lived, the film Churchill removes the bravado and the inspirational speeches, leaving a haunted and torn man. Hallucinating visions of blood washing up on English shores, the death toll is taking its own toll on the man who was fighting the war long before the Americans decided to join in.
John Slattery’s Dwight D. Eisenhower is confident and amid a political stride, while Brian Cox’s Churchill is lumbering, quick to anger, and losing control. Eisenhower’s plan for Normandy is either the path to victory or it’s a slaughter that will leave the Allies in tatters. Churchill is at a loss, believing he knows better, having learned lessons from World War I,…
Brian Cox is great, as an aging Winston Churchill, grumpy and mean, and trying his best to convince the leaders of the Allied forces to call off their plans for the D-Day invasion. Its a story of Churchill's later years, of a tired old man who hates war, leading men into war. Yet while sending soldiers to death weighs heavily on his conscience, ultimately this is a story of a hero, a man who helped bring the world peace.
Churchill é uma pálida tentativa em reviver os últimos momentos da Segunda Guerra sob a prisma do polêmico e brutal ministro britânico. Parecendo feito para televisão e sem muita atmosfera nem história para conseguir realizar a imersão necessária na história, seu principal defeito é acreditar piamente que o que está sendo visto na tela é emocionante e honroso, simplesmente por ter em seu epicentro o grutão inglês mais famoso da política recente.
If Churchill genuinely was a raving old man who got in everyone's away then this film succeeded in showing that lmao
The film’s well casted, well acted, stylish & intriguing, however its script, direction, focus & lack of realism is disappointing. (53%)
Not your dad’s Churchill, the Winnie we get here is dealing with a world passing him by, and trying to come to terms with his weaknesses as a man. Not really what I’m looking for In a Churchill biopic, but Brian Cox makes it work, giving a deep resonating performance of a man rather than a giant.
During WWII, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill struggles with his decisions. As he second-guesses his decision on Operation Overlord, his wife, Clementine, inspires him to forge ahead. Churchill creates, as did the man himself in his lifetime, the illusion of stability, even at the height of crisis. Believed in the good of his people and inspired nationalism. He would often go above and beyond his call to duty.
