Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Jeanskynebu the audience applauded

Console best movie i've ever seen.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

chrisjesson In a time awash with fake news on Facebook and Twitter, you don't expect to watch a historical film, with great actors and a massive budget, distort history so blatantly and disrespect the greatest Briton of all time.

Shubham Patel Had to give one star and hate the movie. Since glorifying the second Hitler is not a good thing. Hitler on the one side lost, But the Hitler on the other side won.

vincentlynch-moonoi I can't speak to the historical accuracy of this film, but my impression after reading reviews of the film is that historical accuracy was not a high priority here. The reason I am giving this film such a low rating is that the casting was horrible. It isn't that the actors involved aren't good actors, but when you're as old as I am and you can actually remember these people, poor casting -- including down to looks -- can be so distracting as to ruin a film. And that is the case here. I don't question that Brian Cox is a very good actor, but he didn't look anymore like Churchill than I do. The first thing that bothered me was Cox's acne (?) scars. So distracting. I don't remember Churchill looking like that at all. It seemed as if the one thing Cox got right was how Churchill held his cigar in his mouth. Unfortunately, that doesn't make for an accurate portrayal.Then there's Eisenhower. Eisenhower looked old and sicker here than he did a decade later AFTER having a heart attack! I'm not exaggerating one bit.Julian Wadham as Field Marshall Montgomery was the one actor who did look pretty much like the real person.I am reminded of two recent films about Lyndon Johnson. In "All THe Way", starring Bryan Cranston, I thought the portrayal was great and the look was about right. Then there was Woody Harrelson's portrayal in "LBJ". I couldn't get past the looks. A wasted film in my view.A biographical film cannot be done by an impressionist, but the portrayals need to be believeable. Here, they're not.

NikkoFranco Here's the catch, if you're an expatriate living in Germany, Austria or Switzerland, the titles are translated for a broader, local market and we were somehow tricked that this is what Gary won an Oscar for. Art cinemas as they are called, have small seating capacities, perhaps not more than 30. Out of the five who was not snoring was myself and boy, what a lost in translation moment for me. Nevertheless we decided to stay and finish it. I am not sure if Brian Cox is to be blamed, the producers or the scriptwriters. It almost looks like the script is one that should contain a forewarning that says : sensationalized version somewhat based on historical events. If meant to show the domestic Churchills, fail. If meant to be a serious piece on such a figure as Churchill, epic fail. There's only so much talented actors can do and blame them I won't. Please do more in depth research next time before even beginning production. It saves a lot of people the pain and embarrassment.
