To be honest, I didn't even notice it was Gary Oldman after reading it, and there was absolutely no trace of it.

Of course, I've never seen what the real Churchill looked like, and can't judge like or not.

But from impassioned speeches, fat hands trembling when excited, grumbling scolding Hitler when angry, submissiveness when giving to the President of the United States, crying on the subway, tenderness to his wife and children, cigars that never leave his hands, careful words...

I can feel very strongly that this is the best performance about Churchill, absolutely worthy of the "Oscar". ???

Darkest Hour quotes

  • Winston Churchill: D'you know, I've never ridden a bus? I've never queued for bread. I believe I can boil an egg... but only because I've seen it done. The only time I tried riding the Underground was during the General Strike. Clemmie dropped me off at South Kensington station. I went down but got lost. I came straight back up! It was awful.

  • [having accepted the post of Prime Minister, Churchill must now have regular meetings with the King]

    Sir Anthony Eden: You only have to meet him once a week.

    Winston Churchill: But that's like saying you only have to have your tooth pulled once a week.
