We went to see "The Darkest Hour"

IF you replace Hitler with Trump you can really relate to this movie. You see the same "Waffling" of people scared to death in this movie (except Churchill and the King eventually) just like people seem to be afraid of Trump and Putin lying to us every day. So, Churchill was in some ways the ONLY thing (besides the British common people themselves that stood between Hitler and his invasion of England in 1940 in May.

This is a very very important film to see because it isn't Great Britain that is in danger now it is the United States that is presently in danger from Trump and Putin instead.

Critic reviews

Balances the great orator's public triumphs with more vulnerable private moments of self-doubt, elevating the inner workings of British government into a compelling piece of populist entertainment. Full review

Variety

Joe Wright's drama features a transformative turn by the excellent Gary Oldman as Churchill; unfortunately, the limited-scope biopic doesn't have much more in its arsenal than that. Full review

Were Darkest Hour just a symphony of World War II nostalgia, it’d probably still be a good watch. But because the film makes the effort to go deeper, it becomes something much more memorable. Full review
