Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A gathering storm of war, politics, and overcoming one's self hardship HBO and BBC films with director Richard Loncraine having Albert Finney as Winston Churchill A young Tom Hiddleston plays his son Randolph Vanessa Redgrave plays his wife Clemmie, she is with him in 1934 hoping his biography of his ancestor will win back his fortune But the lack of money thanks to the collapse of Wall Street has her chastising him waiting for him to actually notice her and what's right in front of him instead of pleasing him after 26 years This recounts the 6 year journey of prewar Churchill's life with his daring bravery to warn Britain of the invasion of Adolf Hitler's forces of the Nazi regime His return from the brink of political obscurity after his exile from government as a fading politician, and the price he paid in his private life before re-emerging as the nation's leader during World War II as the First Lord of Admiralty is portrayed There's a lot of talking in this but Albert Finney gives one of his most grand performances as Winston Churchill More focus on a man all washed up and eager to still have a voice to bring the British citizens back in high spirits Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent acting and a great movie! The best Churchill biopic made! I only wish they had made a follow up movie also with Albert Finney during Churchill in the war years! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Winston Churchill foresaw the warning signs of a war-mongering force that the title describes it as a storm - with some convolution, and this filmic approach not only conversely leads to the eventual appointed position that would stir the tide but also humanly explores Churchill's representational life through Albert Finney's defining, leading performance while finely associated with a nice cast to boot a little.
