Darkest Hour (2017)
8/10
Excellent

This account of the dark days following the "phoney war" is well up with the better dramas based on WW2.

The production has a great blend of historical accuracy and drama. Gary Oldman is outstanding as Churchill and the rest of the main cast are also strong.

I would love it to have stretched out into a series but given the constraints of a feature film it was a very fine production.

A few minor niggles prevent me from going higher than 8. I found the tube train scene a bit excruciating and it couldn't possibly have happened in a single stop on the District Line.

Overall this is well worth viewing.
