Glafira Regina O This film is about our world—about the present. It's a reminder that you can't make a deal with the devil, even when you "do not have the cards." Churchill is portrayed as the man who saved the world from Nazism. And indeed, not Stalin, not Roosevelt. In 1940, Stalin was actually Hitler’s ally, and Roosevelt remained neutral. It was Churchill’s determination that saved Britain—and with it, the rest of the world. The film is brilliant, and Gary Oldman's performance is nothing short of masterful. Churchill's accent is conveyed incredibly well.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/23/25 Full Review rhonald b A great film. Until they make Mr. Churchill take the London Underground and speaks with THE COMMON PEOPLE. From that moment on it suddenly becomes a dreadful melodrama. Ruined an otherwise great watch. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/05/25 Full Review Matteo G Inspiring, beautiful, super good acting of everyone not only Gary Oldman, after 2 hours I wanted other 2h Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/16/25 Full Review Fer S It is well achieved overall, but it has way too many useless hollywoodized scenes. Gary Oldman's acting is great, but his character was way too goofy. It lost all seriousness. It felt like I was watching a kid's movie. You know, the clichéd old guy who always has it his way. Without those unnecessary scenes, and having continued the story after the resolution (which we all knew what was gonna happen) it would have been a great movie. I guess I should go watch a documentary. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/04/25 Full Review Marty R A decent film with watching. Not Churchill not by a long shot. I don’t care how much they laud the actor, I‘m sure he is very good, but we have seen heard and read of Churchill and that is not him. The Churchill on screen was weaker, wimpering, unsure, indecisive etc. I‘m sure the makers wanted to „humanize“ him but that is not the way to do it. The other characters around Winston were exactly how WC probably was, strong, decisive and convinced of their own rightness. THAT was WC, bold and inspiring. I hope someone can do a better job in the future. Not the BBC. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/25 Full Review Read all reviews
