Richard C @RT75299567 Mar 11 Stunning. There isn’t enough stars because the performances of Albert Finney and Vanessa Redgrave are absolutely outstanding. The emotion their relationship generates on screen is phenomenal. I’ve watched it again today because, we are now in the Spiritual Battle of Britain. This film serves as a reminder as to where we were and where we need to return to. England (the United Kingdom) is an embarrassment today but, that will change.

See more 04/27/2022 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 See more 07/11/2020 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! See more Read all reviews
