Analysis

Joe Wright's beautifully directed film focused on the plight of Churchill during those three weeks in May 1940. Darkest Hour builds real tension and explores how unpopular Churchill was, even within his party. The narrative structure makes it less of a biopic about a great political leader and more of a historical drama that attempts to capture the specific personality of the leader for a single, pivotal event. The film establishes itself as populist entertainment by relying on sentimentality and romanticized nostalgia. Despite the alleged tear-jerking moments and rousing speeches, the complexities of the pivotal historical moment remain unexplored. The film is entertaining due to the electrifying performance by Gary Oldman and the intriguing aesthetic signatures of Joe Wright.

What’s There?

  • Beautiful acting from Gary Oldman and the rest of the cast will capture your attention till the end.

What’s Not There?

  • Few backstories were left out, which would be difficult to understand certain scenes or ideas for viewers who do not know about Churchill.

Verdict

It is a fascinating movie about Winston Churchill as a Prime Minister, and able to witness his determination to inspire a nation to rise and fight the Fascists that threaten to take over their island.
