Darkest hour
horizontal line

A dialogue-heavy plot and slow pacing hinder this well-acted, factually inspired, star-dotted (Lily James, Ben Mendelsohn. Kristin Scott Thomas, Stephen Dillane, and Samuel West), 125-minute historical drama highlighted by Oscar-winning performances that follows six weeks in May and June 1940 after the surprising election of curmudgeonly, cigar-smoking, whiskey-imbibing, portly, charismatic, brilliant Winston Churchill (Gary Oldman) to the post of prime minister of Great Britain after his terminally-ill predecessor Neville Chamberlain (Ronald Pickup) is forced to resign following France's fall to the Nazis and explores the testy, confrontational, behind-the-scenes war room discussions that changed the course of Britain's role during WWII.
