Darkest Hour, set May 1940, stars Gary Oldman as Winston Churchill and is an account of his early days as prime minister during the Second World War. …

At the 71st British Academy Film Awards it received nine nominations including Best Film and Outstanding British Film.

Oldman won for Best Actor.

Oldman’s performance is exceptional.  Worth watching.

But I found the film too slow.  In real life, Churchill was more entertaining than that.
