Now this is something everyone can enjoy. Older family members will be drawn in with the possibility of a handsomely-made period film about a critical juncture in the life and career of Winston Churchill, while younger family members will be jolted by the movie’s craftsmanship and thriller-like atmosphere. Oh, and everyone will love Gary Oldman as Churchill. (He’s the closest thing we’ve got to a surefire Oscar winner.)
What’s more, "Darkest Hour" makes a winning companion to "Dunkirk," showing the administrative maneuvering that made Operation Dynamo possible. It’s just great.
